SIA procures 7 Airbus A350F freighters from Airbus

The A305Fs will replace SIA's Boeing 747-400F freighters.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has purchased seven Airbus A350F freighters, with options for five more aircraft, from aerospace company, Airbus.

Delivery for the A350Fs will begin in the fourth quarter of 2022, allowing the SIA to be the first carrier to operate the new generation widebody freighter aircraft.

The Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engine-powered aircraft burns up to 40% less fuel on similar missions to Boeing 747-400F freighters, which it is set to replace.

This allows SIA to cut their carbon emissions by around 400,000 tonnes annually, supporting its goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The purchase deal was signed on 16 February at the Singapore Airshow 2022.

Recently, the airlines also purchased 22 GE9X engines for its new Boeing 777-9 fleet from GE Aviation.
