Freighter Family
Shaping the future of airfreight
Versatile solutions
Freighters and airlifters
The demand for cargo has been boosted by e-commerce, and it is expected that express freight will grow by 4.4% per year and general cargo by 2.7%. Overall, over the next 20 years there will be a need for some 2,470 freighters, of which 940 will be new-build.
Airbus provides a range of freighters with different capacities and capabilities to service the market enabling supply chain networks to transport a full range of cargo – from high-value consumer goods, manufacturing parts to express packages and perishables as well as medical supplies.

Shaping the future
The newest freighter coming to the large cargo market is the A350F. Bringing more efficiency with the latest-generation innovations designed to reduce fuel burn and carbon emissions by up to 40% compared to current in service freighters.
The A350F will embark on its first flight in 2025. When it enters service in 2026, the aircraft will be able to carry a payload of up to 111 tonnes over a range of up to 4,700 nm.
Big is Beluga
For oversized cargo loads
BelugaST
Also known as the A300-600ST Super Transporter, for over 20 years the BelugaST fleet played a central role in keeping Airbus’ commercial aircraft production and assembly network at full capacity. Today the fleet continues to operate under the banner of Airbus Beluga Transport, flying oversized cargo of all kinds around the world.
BelugaXL
Derived from the versatile A330-200, the six-member BelugaXL fleet supports Airbus’ accelerating production ramp-up. The specially-commissioned airlifters, built by Airbus in Toulouse, France, ferry sub-assemblies and components between 11 destinations around Europe.
Our Freighter Family
A320 Family P2F
The A320P2F and A321P2F are single-aisle passenger aircraft that have been converted to a freighter providing a cost-effective and highly efficient option to customers.
The A330-200F
The A330-200F is a new-generation cargo aircraft that meets the needs of the freight business in the mid-size and long-haul segment.
The A330P2F
As a modern jetliner with advanced Airbus technology that includes fly-by-wire flight controls, the A330-300P2F is particularly suited for integrators and express carriers due to its high volumetric payload capability with lower-density cargo.
