From Airbus, Beno\u00eet de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry, Executive Vice President of Commercial Aircraft Sales, applauded EGYPTAIR\u2019s decision as a testament to the value of the A350-900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is the second time EGYPTAIR has placed an order for the A350, demonstrating the aircraft\u2019s significance. The A350 will be a pillar in the airline\u2019s journey toward success, growth, and its decarbonization goals,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MNG Airlines Orders A350F Aircraft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In parallel, Turkish cargo carrier MNG Airlines signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus for the purchase of two A350F units, the new cargo model based on the A350 platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murathan Doruk G\u00fcnal, Chairman of MNG Airlines and CEO of Mapa Group, explained that this investment positions the company to more robustly address current and future logistical challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This agreement for two A350Fs deepens our partnership with Airbus across its entire cargo program. It strengthens our presence on key routes such as Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America. It also provides us with the flexibility to meet evolving demands, from e-commerce to high-value cargo and express logistics,” G\u00fcnal noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A350F is set to revolutionize the air cargo market with its next-generation efficiency, greater capacity, and unprecedented loading flexibility. Airbus expressed enthusiasm about welcoming MNG Airlines as a new customer for this model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
