Airbus recently announced Korean Air as the latest customer of the Airbus A350 Freighter (A350F).
According to Airbus, Korean Air is converting seven of its existing A350-1000 passenger aircraft orders to the A350F.
“Korean Air is one of the world’s largest cargo operators,” said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business. “The decision to add the A350F to its fleet is therefore a very significant endorsement of the aircraft’s unique capabilities. The A350F will bring Korean Air the most efficient solution in the large freighter segment.”
As of the end of September, Airbus reported it has 1,445 orders for the A350 Family of aircraft from 63 customers worldwide – 65 of which are for the A350F. 10 cargo carriers and one lessor have placed orders for the A350F.
Of the 33 A350 aircraft ordered by Korean Air, the orders include 20 A350-1000s, 7 A350Fs, and 6 A350-900s. The airline's first two A350s have already been delivered.
