Air China Cargo has signed a purchase agreement with Airbus for four additional A350F freighters, bringing its total firm order for the type to 10 aircraft. The carrier previously ordered six A350Fs in November 2025 and has been introducing Airbus freighters since end-2023, currently operating eight A330-200P2Fs.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Air China Cargo’s additional A350F commitment increases China’s uptake of the widebody freighter market, aligning with the broader shift toward the A350F noted in Atlas Air’s large A350F order.
  • The move signals scaling beyond the carrier’s existing eight A330-200P2Fs and underscores how operators are rebalancing long-haul cargo fleets around the next widebody freighter generation.
  • With firm orders rising to 10 from a prior 6, the deal tightens Airbus freighter production sequencing and placement planning for the A350F program.
