MNG Airlines (MNGA), a global logistics provider and e-commerce enabler based in Türkiye, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for two Airbus A350F freighters. The A350F will become a key part of MNG’s future fleet, bringing the advantages of next-generation cargo aircraft to its operations. This move marks a strategic step forward for MNG as it continues to strengthen its position in the global air freight market.
“This agreement for two A350F deepens a partnership with Airbus across its full range of freighter programmes. This move strengthens our position across key trade lanes, including Europe, the Middle East, Asia and a growing footprint in North America. It will support both our scheduled and charter operations and give us added flexibility to meet evolving cargo demands, from e-commerce to high-value freight and express logistics,” said CEO of Mapa Group and Chairman of MNG Airlines Murathan Doruk Günal.
In a separate announcement at the Paris Air Show, EGYPTAIR has confirmed a firm order for an additional six Airbus A350-900 aircraft, increasing its total commitment for the type to 16. This development forms part of the EGYPTAIR’s fleet renewal strategy and will support its long-haul expansion over the next five years in response to growing demand for international travel.
Both the A350-900 and the A350F are powered by the latest Rolls-Royce engines and feature advanced aerodynamics, delivering a 25% reduction in fuel consumption and carbon emissions compared to previous-generation aircraft. Passengers on the A350-900 will benefit from the spacious Airspace cabin, designed with wide seats, high ceilings and calming ambient lighting for enhanced comfort on long-haul journeys.
