Airbus wants a piece of the action and is coming to market with the Airbus A350F as a direct B777 competitor. But what can we expect from Airbus’s biggest push into the freighter market?

PARIS—Air France-KLM said it reduced its Airbus A350F order from eight aircraft down to six following the manufacturer’s announcement that the type’s entry into service would be delayed.

Airbus’s Hamburg facility has taken delivery of the first A350 freighter section 19, the aerostructure which is located aft of the main fuselage barrel and interfaces with the empennage.
