CMA CGM Group Purchase Four A350F Freighters
CMA CGM Group, a leader in shipping and logistics, and Airbus have signed a binding MoU for the purchase of four A350F freighter aircraft. The order, which is subject to finalisation in the coming weeks, will lift CMA CGM’s total Airbus fleet to nine aircraft, including five A330-200F.
The aircraft will be operated by CMA CGM AIR CARGO, the company’s recently launched air cargo activity.
“We are proud to welcome CMA CGM AIR CARGO in the group of operators for the A350F,” said Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International. “The A350F will fit seamlessly into the carrier’s existing fleet of Airbus freighters. Thanks to its composite airframe and latest technology engines, it will bring efficiency in terms of fuel burn, economics and CO₂ emissions, empowering the long-term sustainable growth of the Group.”
The A350F is based on the world’s most modern long-range leader, the A350. The aircraft features a large main deck cargo door, and a fuselage length optimised for cargo operations. Over 70 per cent of the airframe is made of advanced materials resulting in a 30t lighter take-off weight, generating at least 20 per cent lower fuel burn.
