According to Airbus, more than 17,500 new airplanes will be required for the Asia-Pacific region over the next decades, with 30% of them replacing older models. Airbus has been supporting decarbonizing efforts in various ways, including the launch of its A350F cargo aircraft, boasting efficiency gains of at least 10% and up to 40%, compared to similar-sized freighters.
