Etihad Airways signes LoI for A350F

At the Singapore Air Show, Airbus has announced that Etihad Airways has signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) for seven A350Fs. It's unclear if the order is a conversion of the fifteen A350-1000s the airline has remaining on order or an additional one. Etihad has had five A350-1000s delivered so far and will start flying the type shortly.

Currently, the airline's cargo-fleet consists of five B777Fs, which will be replaced with the seven A350Fs.

Next to Etihad, Airbus has now secured orders and commitments for the A350F from Air France (four aircraft), Air Lease Corporation (seven aircraft), CMA CGM (four aircraft) and Singapore Airlines (seven aircraft).
