The order, which is subject to finalisation in the coming weeks, will lift CMA CGM\u2019s total Airbus fleet to nine aircraft, including five A330-200F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aircraft will be operated by CMA CGM AIR CARGO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/11\/airbus-orders-commitments-dubai-airshow.html\">Airbus received orders and commitments for 408 aircraft at the Dubai Airshow.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to welcome CMA CGM AIR CARGO in the group of operators for the A350F and we are equally pleased to support the company\u2019s future strategic development,\u201d said Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International. \u201dThe A350F will fit seamlessly into the carrier\u2019s existing fleet of Airbus freighters. Thanks to its composite airframe and latest technology engines, it will bring unbeatable efficiency in terms of fuel burn, economics and CO\u2082 emissions, empowering the long-term sustainable growth of the Group.\u201d Scherer adds: \u201cHaving an early endorsement by such an international cargo powerhouse as the CMA CGM Group is very gratifying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The A350F is based on the world&#8217;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% of the airframe is made of advanced materials resulting in a 30t lighter take-off weight, generating an at least 20% lower fuel burn over its current closest competitor. With a 109t payload capability (+3t payload\/ 11% more volume than its competition), the A350F serves all cargo markets (Express, general cargo, special cargo\u2026) and is in the large freighter category the only new generation freighter aircraft ready for the enhanced 2027 ICAO CO\u2082 emissions standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
