Airbus developing cargo cabin modification for A330s and A350s

Airbus announced (30-Apr-2020) it is developing a modification for A330 and A350 family aircraft to enable airlines to install freight pallets directly onto the cabin floor seat tracks. The solution is packaged as an Airbus Service Bulletin and includes the removal of economy class seats and IFE, installation of cargo pallets and associated safety equipment and the reinstallation of original passenger cabin elements. The solution features "robust" fire protection and 9g load restraint capability. [more - original PR]
