Silk Way West Airlines buying two A350Fs
Silk Way West Airlines is buying two A350 freighters from Airbus, with delivery planned during 2027-2028 and an option for two more in the deal.
This is the first order for an A350F in the Central Asia and CIS region. The aircraft will feature a large main deck cargo door and a fuselage length optimised for cargo operations.
Over 70 per cent of the airframe is made of advanced materials resulting in a take-off weight reduction of 30 tons, which together with an optimised and modern cargo loading system and a 109-tonne payload capability serves all types of freight.
Powered by Rolls-Royce engines, the A350F is in the large category of new-generation freighter aircraft and generates lower fuel burn and CO2 emissions.
