Airbus has secured another commitment for its prospective A350F freighter, this time a memorandum of understanding from shipping and logistics company CMA CGM Group covering the purchase of four of the new cargo airliners. The order, still subject to conclusion “in the coming weeks,” will increase the size of CMA CGM’s fleet of Airbuses to nine, including five A330-200Gs. CMA CGM Air Cargo—the group’s recently launched air cargo division—will operate the aircraft.
