After two successful days at the 2025 Paris Air Show, Airbus has announced a new commitment for its A350F freighter. The European aircraft manufacturer signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Turkish cargo carrier MNG Airlines for two A350F freighters.
This agreement is another success for Airbus' next-generation freighter program, which aims to provide more fuel-efficient and environmentally compliant aircraft. MNG Airlines plans to integrate the A350F into its fleet to support both scheduled and charter services across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America.
Murathan Doruk Günal, CEO of Mapa Group and Chair of MNG Airlines, stated that the deal enhances the airline's ability to serve various regions. He noted that the new widebodies would offer "added flexibility to meet evolving cargo demands, from e-commerce to high-value freight and express logistics." Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus' EVP Sales of Commercial Aircraft, commented: "The A350F will bring new generation efficiency and performance as well as new levels of capacity and unprecedented loading flexibility."
