Airbus rolls out A350F freighter, eyes late-September flight
Airbus rolled its first A350F freighter test aircraft out of the paint shop in Toulouse on August 19 in a parcel-livery scheme, with Reuters reporting the company is targeting around September 24 for the type's maiden flight. Airbus's own public guidance remains a broader later-in-2026 window, with first customer delivery still expected in the second half of 2027 against a backlog of 107 firm orders from 14 customers.
