The final A350F livery design revealed!
The winners and final livery design have just been revealed at a special ceremony at the Paris Air Show.
With over 4,000 entries, the selection process was very challenging for our jury who finally selected two similar submissions and combined them as the final winning design. So a big congratulations goes to John Feehan and the brothers Quinnten and Ellisten Iversen.

Quinnten and Ellisten Iversen
At 16 and 12, Quinnten and Ellisten are brothers and live in Calgary, Alberta Canada. From plane spotting to model collecting, aviation takes centre stage in their life and they already plan to become pilots.
"I was reading the daily aviation news when the idea of “packaging boxes” suddenly clicked in my head. I sat down with my brother and we started to bring our concept to life together."
John Feehan
At 57, John Feehan works as graphic designer in Dublin, Ireland. He joined the competition under the encouragement of his son who is passionate about aviation.
“My son’s enthusiasm for aviation affected the entire family. He pushed me to enter the contest which was a good challenge to think outside the norm. I couldn’t pass-up the opportunity to work with a leader in aviation.”
What comes next?
Before this selected design comes to life, the A350F needs to be manufactured. That’s already started and production is progressing well at the Airbus plants. The first parts of the centre wing box have already been assembled in Nantes, France, and the centre fuselage will be assembled and equipped soon.
Airbus expects to have the first aircraft painted by the end of 2024, and the winning design will come to life as the aircraft embarks on its first flight. When it enters service in 2026, the A350F will be able to carry a payload of up to 111 tonnes over a range of 4,550 nm.

Get to know the A350F
In line with Airbus’ mission to pioneer sustainable aerospace for a safe and united world, Airbus announced the launch of a brand new large freighter, the A350F in November last year. This freighter has been designed to reduce fuel burn and carbon emissions by up to 40% compared to freighters currently flying.
How will the A350F achieve this? It all comes down to the significant weight savings achieved through its use of advanced materials, latest generation efficient engines and state of the art technologies.
The A350F will give the large air freight market an aircraft that will be much easier and more efficient to operate. It will also require less maintenance and deliver up to 40% savings in operational costs compared to current in service freighters.
Did you know?
The A350F will be capable of carrying 109 tonnes of cargo, the equivalent of 18 large African elephants?
Not only that, it will fly up to 4,700 nm in range.

Its extra large rear main deck cargo door will be equipped with the latest heavy duty powered loading system giving it the capacity to transport up to 42 pallets of goods, large modern aircraft engines or even luxury cars. With 8 different temperature zones it can also transport special loads like live animals as big as horses and temperature controlled goods like fresh fish, vegetables, flowers and vaccines.
