Airbus A300-600ST Beluga

The Airbus A300-600ST Beluga (BelugaST) is a purpose-built oversized cargo aircraft based on the A300-600, commissioned to move major aircraft sections between Airbus production and assembly sites. Airbus later operated the fleet through Beluga Transport for contracted outsized-freight missions, including helicopters, satellites, and other cargo too large for standard freighters; the original ST fleet is now transitioning toward rest, training, and heritage roles as BelugaXL takes over internal logistics.
