ABOUT THIS AIRCRAFT – AIRBUS A350F ENTRY INTO SERVICE IN Q4, 2025.
Airbus A350F brings latest-generation efficiency and choice to the large freighter market. With unbeatable efficiency in terms of fuel burn, CO2 emissions and economics, the A350F is the only freighter capable of meeting the latest ICAO requirements.
The A350F can be seamlessly integrated into airline fleets, delivering step change efficiency in terms of volume, range and payload.
he A350F’s ability to carry a maximum structural payload of 109 tonnes trumps the 777F, and in all-pallet configuration it offers a slightly greater volume than the 747F.
The airplane features a state-of-the art cargo handling system and, uniquely, both main and lower decks can be loaded simultaneously to considerably reduce turnaround times. The main deck can accommodate thirty 96-by-125-inch pallets of up to 118 inches in height, while the lower deck can hold twelve 96-by-125-by-64-inch pallets and two LD3 containers. The floor is rated for “super pallets” of up to 28 tonnes in weight. Usable volume totals 717 cubic meters.
The cargo area retains full climate control across five zones, which operators can regulate to temperatures between 4 and 25 degrees Celsius. This is particularly important for live animal transport. The courier seating area at the front of the cabin can adjust to cater for varying numbers, another factor for animal transport operations when couriers and veterinary staff might need to accompany the livestock.
The A350F serves all cargo market models (Express, general cargo, special cargo…) in the large freighter category.
