Atlas Air secures three Boeing 747-8 Freighters

US cargo airline Atlas Air has secured the services of three Boeing 747-8 Freighters through a long-term finance lease agreement with lessor BOC Aviation. 

On August 22, 2024, Atlas Air Worldwide declared that the agreement came in response to “strong global demand for dedicated large widebody airfreight capacity,” driven by a surge in the e-commerce sector.  

The three Boeing 747 Freighters are expected to enter service next month, adding to a fleet that already includes 17 747-8Fs, 39 747-400Fs, five passenger 747-400s, and four Large Cargo Freighters (LCFs).
