Why One Of The World's Largest Freighter Operators Just Broke Up With Boeing For Airbus
Source ↗ 👁 13 💬 0
Atlas Air Worldwide is breaking its all-Boeing strategy because Boeing’s delayed Boeing 777-8F, now expected around 2028, can’t meet its fleet replacement timeline, while Airbus can. Backed by fleet and manufacturer data, Atlas has placed a firm order for 20 Airbus A350Fs (plus 20 options), with deliveries scheduled from 2029 to 2034, giving it a clear path to replace aging 747 freighters and maintain global capacity.
