This dual order reinforces AviLease's credentials as a leading lessor and demonstrates the broad appeal of our products among lessors and their airline customers.' The A350F boasts the largest main deck cargo door in the industry, with its fuselage length and capacity tailored to accommodate standard pallets and containers. Over 70% of the aircraft's structure is built from advanced materials, enabling a 46-tonne lighter take-off weight compared to competing freighters. Additionally, the A350F is the only freighter that will fully comply with ICAO's enhanced CO₂ emissions standards set to take effect in 2027.
