Oversize Air Transport – End to End solution crucial to Airbus production Photo des 5 BST An airline, ATI, Airbus subsidiary since 1996 A fleet of 5 Beluga ST A network of 11 stations Infrastructures & processes adapted to high production rates 2 19/07/2018
Slide 3: Why a BelugaXL ?
Why a BelugaXL ? The Beluga ST cannot carry 2 A350 wings at the same time Beluga ST Flight Hours ➢ A320 : ref ➢ A330 : x3 ➢ A350 : x7 A system reaching its limits ➢ Up to 5 flights / day, 6 days / week ➢ 8600FH in 2017 ➢ Road and sea transport less flexible and more costly 3 19/07/2018
Slide 4: Why a BelugaXL ?
Why a BelugaXL ? Requirements: ➢ 2 A350 wings ➢ Compatible with existing infrastructures, jigs and tools ➢ T/O & landing on all sites runways ➢ EIS in 2019 No existing solution on the market The Beluga (ST & XL) cross sections are much bigger than those of all existing cargo A/C 4 19/07/2018
