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.
