Airbus whales enter the international air fleet

According to a reporter of Fars News Agency’s International Economics Group, quoted by Reuters, Airbus France, has announced that it wants to lease a fleet of Beluga-like aircraft for international transport. Until now, the fleet has only been used to transport aircraft parts between Airbus assembly plants.

Airbus says it will establish an airline in 2013 with a fleet of Beluga aircraft.

It was a few weeks ago that Airbus stopped producing its jumbo jets after 15 years.

Airbus says Beluga aircraft have a unique air carrying capacity and can be effective in carrying bulky cargo by air. Airbus has so far produced five Beluga-shaped whale aircraft, and it is said that if it uses all of them as an air freight company, it will form the largest cargo air transport in Europe.

Experts say demand for large cargoes by air without separating them has increased, and many companies are moving to air freight when they do not have enough time to use maritime transport.

“Over the years, and even before the Corona outbreak began, many companies have asked us if they could use Beluga aircraft to transport them,” said Reza Fazlullahi, Airbus’s director of business development.

The reason this plane is named Beluga is because of its resemblance to the Beluga whale.

Until recently, Airbus could not provide these services due to its high production, but now that it has discontinued production of the 380, it will probably move to aerial side activities.
