CMA CGM Air Cargo had placed orders for four A350F, reports Mumbai's STAT Trade Times.

As the launch customer for the cargo version of the A350, CMA CGM Air Cargo has opted for the most environmentally efficient aircraft on the market, reinforcing the company's commitment to sustainable transport, said the company.

French shipping giant CMA CGM became the second company to sign up for Airbus' new A350 freighter. The company, which launched its CMA CGM Air Cargo business in 2021, had signed a memorandum of understanding covering the purchase of four A350F.

In May 2022, Air France-KLM and CMA CGM announced their intention to enter into a long term cargo commercial cooperation, which became effective in April 2023. However, CMA CGM and Air France-KLM ended their existing agreements from March 31.

Airbus has confirmed orders for 55 A350Fs from airlines including Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and the new customer Starlux.
