Airbus is rumored to be considering an A350F program, but until that announcement I wouldn’t expect an official aircraft order announcement. The A350F would supposedly be based on the A350-900 and would be a competitor to the B777F. For that reason it seems unlikely that FedEx would purchase the aircraft. It’s a larger aircraft than I believe is needed for it to be an MD-10/11 replacement.
