Etihad Airways' has signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) for seven A350F freighters to add to its existing fleet of five A350-1000 passenger versions. The announcement was made at the Singapore Airshow 2022. Etihad has also selected Airbus's Flight Hour Services (FHS) to support its entire A350 fleet.
Interestingly this comes close on the heels of leading air carrier Singapore Airlines (SIA) also finalizing a purchase agreement with Airbus for seven A350F freighter aircraft at the Singapore Airshow 2022, which it had announced back in December 2021.
"Etihad is delighted to extend our relationship with Airbus to include this remarkable aircraft as part of our freighter fleet for the future," said Tony Douglas, Group Chief Executive Officer, Etihad Aviation Group. "As our cargo operations continue to overperform and we work towards a more sustainable future built upon the world's youngest and most fuel-efficient fleet, the addition of the A350F will play a key role in driving our long-term cargo strategy and achieving our 2035 target to reduce CO ₂ emissions by 50%," he added.
