Finnair converts A350 passenger cabins for freight transport

Finnair is the latest airline to temporarily transform passenger cabins into freight carriages, disclosing plans to fill 2 of its Airbus A350s with cargo to boost capacity between Europe and Asia. Until now, Finnair has only transported freight in the belly of its passenger A350s. However, the airline has unveiled plans to convert the cabins of 2 of its A350s for cargo use. The move will help boost capacity for transporting emergency medical supplies, including coronavirus samples, between Finland, Estonia and points in Asia, says the carrier. The airline this week plans to operate more than 10 return A350 cargo flights to Osaka and Tokyo Narita in Japan, Seoul in South Korea, and Guangzhou and Shanghai in China. <br/>
