Airbus is terminating its charter cargo business, which used funky freighter aircraft to transport oversize loads, after less than a year.
You’re familiar with the term “when pigs fly.” But what about a whale? Airbus flies a fleet of cargo jets that have an uncanny resemblance to a beluga whale.
Airbus for years has operated whale-shaped cargo jets to support its manufacturing operation in Europe. Now it has dedicated a portion of its fleet to haul extra-large shipments for external customers.
Las aberturas de los aviones de carga ultraligeros permiten cargar envíos de gran tamaño.
Specialized freighters with nose cones that open are helping National Airlines and its sister logistics company capture more oversize business.
Airbus is establishing a for-hire cargo airline using super-jumbo jets that previously hauled aircraft fuselages and tails for its own supply chain.
This beluga whale doesn’t swim, it flies. Airbus built a freighter that looks like the whale so it can get large shipments in the front dome.
The delay of aircraft components and replacement parts can mean tens of thousands of dollars in losses for airlines waiting to make necessary repairs, which is why so many turn to specialized logistics providers.
