The U.S. cargo airline is reported to be the previously undisclosed customer behind an August order for eight A350Fs. The reported deal would mark Kalitta’s first purchase from a European aircraft manufacturer, extending its fleet options beyond long-time supplier Boeing; the airline has described its plans as still under evaluation.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The reported order would add eight A350Fs to the freighter market and make Kalitta Air a new Airbus widebody customer.
  • A move beyond Boeing would broaden Kalitta’s aircraft sourcing options, while the airline’s stated evaluation phase means the reported order’s status remains an important caveat.
