The Airbus BelugaXL
The Airbus BelugaXL is one of the most recognisable cargo aircraft in the world, designed to carry oversized aircraft parts between Airbus production sites across Europe. Its wide upper fuselage makes it ideal for moving major components such as Airbus wings, fuselage sections and other large freight that would be difficult to transport by road, rail or sea.
BelugaXL flights are especially interesting for aviation followers because they connect places such as Airbus Broughton, Bremen, Hamburg, Toulouse, St Nazaire and Getafe, creating a distinctive network of Airbus freight routes, wing movements and cargo jet operations across Europe.
