FROM THE SAME THEMES
Ethiopian Airlines orders eight Boeing 777-8 freighters and two other 777Fs. The machines are to expand the global freight network; the new order complements already ordered 777-9 for passenger traffic.
The first A350F test carrier has flown for the first time. The flight marks the start of a new phase of the test programme; the freighter version extends the A350 family with an aircraft specially developed for freight transport.
In a message before the first flight, Airbus named the 29. September as scheduled date. A public transmission should accompany the launch of the freighter test programme; the actual first flight will be dealt with in a later report.
