The Airbus A350F has got itself a new customer in the form of Seoul-based SkyTeam founding member Korean Air. Earlier today, Airbus confirmed that the South Korean flag carrier had converted seven of its orders for the passenger-carrying A350-1000 to the cargo variant. This development represents another vote of confidence for the European firm's new freighter.

While Korean Air has previously flown cargo aircraft from Airbus, its current fleet does not have any, with jets from its US rival Boeing exclusively operating the airline's cargo flights at present. Now, it stands to diversify this side of its operations, and, with various compelling advantages such as the industry's largest main cargo deck door, the A350F looks like it will fit the bill nicely.
