Atlas Air makes a significant order for Airbus A350 cargo planes.

Atlas Air Worldwide has announced a significant expansion of its fleet with an order for 20 Airbus A350 freighters, plus options for another 20, making it the largest customer for this new aircraft type set to enter service in 2027. CEO Michael Steen highlighted the A350F's advantages, including earlier delivery, advanced technology, and environmental benefits, as key factors in the decision over Boeing options. The new freighters are intended to support growth rather than replace existing aircraft, as Atlas Air anticipates increasing demand for air cargo amidst rising global uncertainties.
