AIRCRAFT - Airbus completes the first horizontal stabiliser for the A350F freighter in Spain
Getafe, Spain, 23 July 2025 - Airbus has completed manufacturing the first horizontal stabiliser (HTP) for the A350F freighter at its plants in Spain. This milestone demonstrates Spain's key role in the production of commercial aircraft, including the A350F programme.
The production of the A350F’s first horizontal stabiliser (HTP) involved the Airbus plant in Cádiz, where parts of the HTP were manufactured, and Getafe, for assembly and outfitting.
This HTP will be shipped to the Airbus Final Assembly Line (FAL) in Toulouse in the coming weeks to be joined with the fuselage of the first test aircraft. Airbus is manufacturing two A350F aircraft for flight testing in 2026 and 2027.
The A350F HTP can be manufactured in the same production line as the passenger version, delivering operational and industrial advantages and improvements.
Ricardo Rojas, President of Airbus’ Commercial Aircraft business in Spain, said: "The A350F will offer a clean-sheet, specifically designed solution for air freight transport, bringing more efficiency and versatility to the cargo market. With more than 1,400 orders for the A350, including 66 A350Fs, Spain plays a key role in this programme that presents the future in air cargo transportion."
All in all, the horizontal stabiliser, rear fuselage (section 19) and lower wing covers for both the A350 and A350F are manufactured in Spain. In addition, the A350F's main deck cargo door, the largest in the industry, will also be manufactured in Spain. Made from composite materials, it has a 4.3-metre opening, making loading and unloading easier, faster and safer.
Designed to be the world's most advanced cargo aircraft, the A350F meets the evolving demands of the global air freight market. In terms of efficiency, it will offer at least a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to cargo aircraft currently in service. Thanks to a range capability of up to 8,700 kilometres with a payload of up to 111 tonnes, it will allow operators to deploy it on international long-haul routes.
ORDER - Avolon orders 15 A330neo and 75 A321neo Airbus aircraft
Toulouse, France, 24 July 2025 - Avolon, a leading global aviation finance company, has placed an order for 90 Airbus aircraft, comprising 15 A330neo and 75 A321neo. This incremental order brings Avolon’s total to 79 A330neos and 264 A321neos.
Andy Cronin, Avolon CEO, commented, “This order demonstrates our strong confidence in the long-term demand for new aircraft. Our scale and balance sheet position us to support our airline customers’ expansion and replacement needs into the next decade. Both the A321neo and A330neo are in high demand, and we expect this to continue given the long-term growth trajectory for the aviation sector. We are delighted to be expanding and extending our long-term partnership with Airbus with this order.”
“Lessors are excellent barometers of the aircraft market, and we are grateful to Avolon for expanding its commitment for the A320 Family and A330neo, so soon after an earlier order two years ago. This endorsement illustrates the strong attractiveness to a wide variety of customers of these two aircraft, the most efficient in their category with the latest technologies embedded, covering the market space from domestic to regional to long haul routes. We value this partnership which has helped open new markets and broaden the customer base for both aircraft types”, said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business.
Powered by the latest generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, the A330-900 has a range of 7,200nm / 13,300 km non-stop and reduces fuel burn, CO2 emissions and operating cost by 25% compared to the previous generation aircraft. The A330neo features the award-winning Airspace cabin, which offers passengers a unique experience, high level of comfort, ambience, and design. This includes more individual space, enlarged overhead bins, a new lighting system and access to the latest in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems.
The A321neo is the largest member of Airbus’ best-selling A320neo Family, offering unparalleled range and performance. By incorporating new generation engines and Sharklets, the A321neo brings a 50% noise reduction and more than 20% fuel savings and CO₂ reduction compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft, while maximising passenger comfort in the widest single-aisle cabin in the sky.
As with all in-production aircraft, the A330neo and A321neo are able to operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), with a target to increase to up to 100% SAF capability by 2030.

FLEET - Portugal's euroAtlantic Airways adds first A330, plans more
euroAtlantic Airways (YU, Lisbon) has added an A330-200 under a dry-lease contract with AELF - Aircraft Engine Lease Finance as part of its fleet expansion strategy. This is the first ever Airbus aircraft in the fleet of the Portuguese ACMI specialist.
euroAtlantic Airways told ch-aviation that it expects the A330 to enter service by early August 2025. It plans to add more aircraft of the type in the future.
CS-TGD (msn 489) is a 23.1-year-old aircraft powered by General Electric CF6 engines and features a dual-class cabin layout with 283 seats in economy and 12 in business class. The airframe was delivered new to Qatar Airways in 2002 and was subsequently taken up by its then subsidiary Air Italy in 2018. Maleth-Aero operated the aircraft from 2022 to 2025 as 9H-EFS.
According to Flightradar24 ADS-B data, the aircraft is currently parked at Marana.

EMBRAER AND PORTUGUESE AIR FORCE CELEBRATE MAJOR MILESTONES WITH DELIVERY OF THE THIRD KC-390 AND MAIDEN FLIGHT OF THE A-29N
Third KC-390 Millennium joins Portugal’s operational fleet
First A-29N of the Portuguese Air Force (FAP) completes first flight and begins test campaign
FAP’s KC-390 and A-29N perform historic formation flight
The third KC-390 is part of an agreement between Embraer and the Portuguese government that will ultimately result in six aircraft in operation, with an additional ten purchase options available for allied and NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) nations. The first A-29N is part of a 2024 order for 12 aircraft, making Portugal the launch customer for the Super Tucano variant designed to meet NATO requirements.
“Seeing both programs progressing steadily and fast gives us a sense of achievement and great satisfaction that enables us to proceed with the vision of having a more modern, capable and interoperable Air Force. The delivery of the third KC-390 will increase our operational capability and simultaneously consolidate experience in the aircraft, in progress to reach Full Operational Capability and establish new frontiers in the usage of this platform. The launch of the A-29N flight test campaign shows that we are in a good path to obtain a distinctive platform, with a configuration idealized by Portuguese Air Force, that will prove its capability in advanced training and operational usage,” said Portuguese Air Force’s Major-General João Nogueira, KC-390 Program Director.
“We are extremely proud to contribute meaningfully to enhancing the FAP’s operational capabilities with both the KC-390 and the A-29N. This delivery and joint flight represent major milestones that reflect our commitment to supporting Portugal’s defense with efficient and innovative solutions, always grounded in our strong, long-term partnership,” said Bosco da Costa Junior, President and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security.
The KC-390 Millennium offers superior payload capacity (26 tons) compared to other medium-sized military transport aircraft, and it flies faster (470 knots) and farther. It is capable of performing a wide range of missions, including cargo and troop transport and airdrops, medical evacuation, search and rescue, firefighting, and humanitarian operations. It can operate from temporary or unpaved runways, such as packed earth, soil and gravel. The aircraft can also be configured for air-to-air refueling, both as a tanker and as a receiver.This game-changing aircraft fully meets NATO standards and requirements. In addition to Portugal, several European and NATO allies – including Hungary, the Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Slovakia, and Lithuania – have selected the KC-390 to modernize their air forces. In total, 11 countries have chosen this state-of-the-art aircraft, including Brazil and South Korea.
The A-29 Super Tucano is a versatile and proven aircraft offering exceptional operational flexibility. It can perform a wide array of missions, including close air support, air patrol, special operations, interdiction, JTAC, forward air control (FAC), tactical coordination (TAC), armed ISR, border surveillance, reconnaissance, escort, and training at all levels – from basic to advanced, including transition to air superiority fighters and JTAC/LIFT and FAC training.
The A-29N Super Tucano variant will feature advanced avionics, NATO-specific communication systems, and other undisclosed capabilities tailored to meet NATO’s operational needs.
Recently, the global A-29 fleet surpassed 600,000 flight hours. With over 290 units ordered, the A-29 has already been selected by 22 air forces worldwide.
