Beluga combines outside outsized cargo-carrying capability with the jet speed and efficiency of Airbus’s A300-600 airliner.

It enables short transport times for just-in-time production, and the large main cargo deck minimizes the need for payload breakdown, crating and packaging.

The semi-automated main deck cargo loading system ensures easy and efficient handling of payloads, controlled by the trained crews of Airbus Transport International – which operates the five-aircraft Beluga fleet.
