Airbus A380
The A380 opens up exciting new possibilities for airline freight operations.
In passenger operations, the A380 retains significant cargo capability in its lower deck while accommodating 525-plus passengers on the two main decks. The A380’s lower deck is designed to accept all standard underfloor cargo pallets and containers, including the LD-3.
In its all-cargo version, the A380-800F will be the first commercial freighter with three full cargo decks – offering the unprecedented capability to carry a 150 tonne payload over distances of 5,600 nm. This range enables the A380-800F to fly most major cargo routes non-stop, enhancing productivity by spending more time in the air. On a 5,000 nm. sector, the A380’s direct operating cost is a full 21 per cent lower than the largest competing freighter.
