Airbus is aiming to fly its new A350F cargo plane in late September
The European aerospace firm hopes the delayed model will help it challenge Boeing, an American rival that usually controls the global freight market. Sources say the company is looking at 24 September for the initial test, provided the weather stays clear and no faults emerge. Buyers have already ordered 107 of these lightweight aircraft, with early handovers planned for late 2027.
