MNG Airlines A350F
MNG Airlines (MNGA), a global logistics provider and e-commerce enabler based in Turkey, has become the latest carrier to commit to the Airbus A350F. Airbus and MNG signed a Memorandum of Understanding today at the Paris Air Show for two aircraft.
“This agreement for two A350F deepens a partnership with Airbus across its full range of freighter programs. This move strengthens our position across key trade lanes, including Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and a growing footprint in North America. It will support both our scheduled and charter operations and give us added flexibility to meet evolving cargo demands, from e-commerce to high-value freight and express logistics,” 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.
Launched in 2021, the A350F is currently under development, and will carry up to 111 tonnes with a range of 8,700 km. Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines, it will offer up to 40% reduction in fuel consumption and CO ? emissions compared to previous generation freighter aircraft. Made of over 70% advanced materials, the A350F will be 46 tonnes lighter than competitors and will feature the industry’s largest main deck cargo door. It is the only freighter fully meeting ICAO’s 2027 CO ? standards and by the time it enters service it will be 50% SAF capable, with a target for 100% by 2030.
