[PDF] a380 freighter modification

The airframer's conversion involves removal of passenger seats and the fitting of freight pallets on seat tracks. Lufthansa Technik's work marks the emergence of A380s for freighter work some 13 years after a dedicated A380 freighter programme was effectively halted by a withdrawal of customer interest.

  • Can A380 be converted to cargo?

    Converting the Airbus A380 to a freighter would be technically possible, according to the publication FreightWaves. The publication reveals that Airbus is reportedly shopping around A380 to operators to gauge interest in such a conversion.6 avr. 2021

  • Why isn't the A380 a freighter?

    There are a number of factors as to why the A380 will never make a good freighter, and those include ceiling height, ULD tare weight and length. It's all about the economics and the things that limit revenue potential. To the surprise of many, the lack of a nose cargo door, like the 747, has very little to do with it.

  • Why aren t A380s used for cargo?

    Not well-designed for cargo
    The A380 is so large that a freighter-equivalent would offer the largest payload capacity of any aircraft other than the An-225, which was used to carry Soviet spaceships. The A380's emphasis on volume makes sense as a vehicle optimized for passengers, not cargo.
  • Currently, the world's biggest international airline has on order 50 A350-900s, 30 787-9s and 115 Boeing 777Xs. The airline operates 119 A380s, 123 Boeing 777-300ERs and 10 Boeing 777-200LRs. The 777X aircraft will replace the A380s, while the A350s and 787s will eventually replace the 777s.
