The inaugural flight of the Airbus A350F is scheduled for September 29.

Airbus has announced that the first flight of its A350F freighter is set for September 29, departing from Toulouse, France. This milestone marks the start of a nine-month certification campaign, conducted by a five-person crew using two test aircraft. Prior to the flight, a high-speed rejected take-off test was successfully completed. The A350F, built with over 70% advanced materials, boasts the largest cargo door in the industry and aims for a 40% reduction in fuel burn. With 115 firm orders, it competes directly with Boeing's 777-8F freighter.
