Air France-KLM Orders four A350F’s to Modernise the Fleet of Martinair
“We are delighted to make this major step forward to the
A350F. It accelerates Air France KLM Martinair Cargo sustainability ambitions
with significant improvement on fuel emissions and complying with most
stringent ICAO Chapter 14 for noise and CAEP 8 for NOx. We are fit for the
future!” said Adriaan den Heijer, Executive Vice President Air France KLM Cargo
and Managing Director Martinair.
“Another A350F endorsement, and a great one too! We are
delighted to see the A350F enter the KLM/Martinair world, confirming the
relevance this most modern high capacity long range cargo aircraft brings to
the airfreight segment. I am very pleased with the way our program is taking
off. With 50% less noise, and 40% less fuel burn and CO2 emissions compared to
the previous generation aircraft it is replacing, that is hardly a surprise! We
thank Air France-KLM Group for their continued confidence.” said Christian
Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International.
The A350F is based on the world's most modern long range
leader, the A350. The aircraft will feature the largest main deck cargo door
and a fuselage length optimised for cargo operations. Over 70% of the airframe
is made of advanced materials resulting in a minimum 30 tonnes lighter take-off
weight, which together with efficient Rolls-Royce engines generate an advantage
of at least 20% lower fuel burn and CO2 emission over its current closest
competitor. Delivery to Martinair will be in time to comply with the latest
ICAO CO2 emissions standards that will come into effect by the end of 2027 .
With a 109 tonnes payload capability (+3t payload / 11% more volume than its
competition), the A350F serves all cargo markets (Express, general cargo,
special cargo…).
Launched in 2021, the A350F recorded 35 orders from seven
customers.
