Singapore Airlines Cargo's four-engine freighter is the Boeing 747-400F, often called the "Queen of the Skies," but the airline is phasing these out in favor of the new Airbus A350F which is a twin-engine aircraft. The airline is using A350Fs to replace its existing 747-400F fleet starting in late 2025, due to the new aircrafts' lower carbon emissions and fuel efficiency. 

• Old four-engine aircraft: The Singapore Airlines Cargo fleet was historically dominated by the four-engine Boeing 747-400F freighters, which were known for their high payload capacity.
• New twin-engine aircraft: The airline is transitioning to the Airbus A350F, a twin-engine freighter, for its future operations.
• Reason for replacement: The A350F is being adopted because it burns up to 40% less fuel, resulting in significantly lower carbon emissions compared to the 747-400F.
