IAG Cargo is planning to order 18 Airbus A350-1000 planes, which will enter service starting in 2018 given shareholder approval.
The carrier also holds options for an additional 18 planes.
The Airbus aircraft, combined with the carrier’s recent order of 24 Boeing 787s and the possibility of an additional 18 planes, will form the backbone of IAG’s modernized fleet. The carrier has also made plans to add 12 new A380s into the mix. The B787s and A380s will start entering service in 2013.
