Airbus has secured another major A350 freighter customer with an order from Turkish Airlines for five of the new cargo aircraft.
The order follows Cathay Cargo’s recently announced decision to order six A350Fs with the right to order 20 more. 

The A350F can carry a payload of up to 111 tonnes and can fly up to 8,700 kms. Its cargo door will have a width of 4.4 m.
The deal is another blow for Boeing, whose 777-8F freighter programme has also slowed down this year.
The 777-8F offers a maximum structural payload of 118 tonnes (revenue payload 112.3tonnes) and a range of 8,167 km, while its cargo door has a width of 3.72 m.
 Orders placed for the Boeing aircraft include: Silkway West (2), Cargolux (10), Lufthansa (7), ANA (2) and Qatar (34).
Ethiopian Airlines also signed an MoU for five of the aircraft, although it is not clear whether this order was later firmed up.
The last deal that Boeing struck for the model was with Silk Way West at the end of last year.
Turkish Airlines has also ordered a large number of passenger aircraft.
These include 150 A321s, 50 A350-900s, and 15 A350-1000s.
This follows two orders from the airline for 10 A350-900s in September and four A350-900s in July.
