Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd is leaning towards placing an order for around six Airbus A350 freighters as the Hong Kong carrier renews the oldest section of its fleet of dedicated 747 cargo jets, industry sources said. If confirmed, the selection marks a bounce back for the Airbus freighter after Cathay earlier this year appeared to favour the competing Boeing 777-8F, before postponing a decision for several months, said the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential matters.
