Boeing and National Airlines (5th) announced today the global carrier has committed to place its first order for four 777 Freighters. Currently the longest-range twin-engine freighter with unrivaled payload capacity, the 777 Freighter will help maximize the airline’s commercial cargo service and boost market share across its global operations.
Once finalized, National Airlines’ first direct purchase of Boeing airplanes will be posted to Boeing’s Orders & Deliveries website.
The 777 Freighter can fly farther (9,200 km / 4,970 nmi) and carry more freight (107 tonnes) than any other twin-engine cargo jet today. This capability enables operators to fly more freight on more nonstop routes with better operating economics.
The 777 Freighters will join National Airline’s expanding fleet of nine 747-400 freighters.
