(Reuters) - Airbus has announced a freighter version of its wide-bodied A350 in a bid to loosen Boeing (NYSE:BA)'s decades-old dominance of the market for dedicated cargo planes.
This is how freighters from the two plane giants compare. It excludes older passenger planes that have been converted to freighters, a separate market also dominated by Boeing.
