Turkish cargo specialist MNG Airlines has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus for the purchase of two Airbus A350F, the freighter variant of the Airbus A350 widebody airliner.
The A350F will become the central part of MNGs fleet operating both scheduled and chartered operations across its key trading lanes with North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
“This agreement for two A350F deepens a partnership with Airbus across its full range of freighter programmes.” said CEO of Mapa Group and Chairman of MNG Airlines Murathan Doruk Günal.
“We are delighted to welcome MNG Airlines as the latest customer for the A350F, underscoring the strong market appeal for this game-changing freighter. The A350F will bring new generation efficiency and performance as well as new levels of capacity and unprecedented loading flexibility. We look forward to ensuring a seamless integration into MNG’s operations,” said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business.
The MoU brings the total number of commitments so far for the A350F at the Paris Airshow this year to 12.
