First A350F Section 19 Delivered to Hamburg

A significant milestone has been reached in the production of Airbus’ new cargo aircraft, the A350F. The first Section 19 component, manufactured in Getafe, Spain, in November, was successfully transported to Hamburg via Beluga aircraft. This delivery marks a critical advancement in the A350F production process.

Since the project’s launch in 2022, Getafe has become a key production hub for the A350F, with new manufacturing stations established and enhanced collaboration between teams. Section 19 has been designed with a special protective feature added to the part that makes ground contact.

Through coordinated teamwork, potential issues were identified and resolved proactively. Production engineers and managers have played an active role in continuously optimizing operations throughout the process.
