Airbus targets A350F maiden flight in September, sources say

PARIS, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Airbus has tentatively set the first flight of its delayed A350 freighter aircraft for the third week of September, industry sources said on Tuesday.

An Airbus spokesperson said it had nothing to add to the plane maker's most recent predictions of a maiden fight before the end of this year, followed by first delivery in the second half of 2027.
