Cathay Cargo to Bolster Fleet with 111-Ton Aircraft
Cathay Pacific's Cargo airline will be getting a brand-new Airbus A350F, expecting it to become a "central element in its future fleet" once its development is completed. The gestating A350F is slated to haul payloads up to 111 tonnes up to 4,700 nautical miles, offering "significantly lower cost than any other freighter available today." It will enable Cathay Cargo to serve all heavy markets, even the world's longest freight route between Hong Kong and Anchorage, Alaska.
