Lufthansa Cargo has added two more Boeing 777 Freighters to its fleet as it prepares to say goodbye to its last MD-11F.
The two aircraft, D-ALFJ and D-ALFK will be based at Frankfurt Airport, bringing the fleet to 11 freighters in addition to four 777s operated by joint venture AeroLogic.
D-ALFK is new and arrived from the Boeing factory in Everett, Washington, touching down in Frankfurt at 06.00h today (Wednesday 29 September), and D-ALFJ was bought used.
To put them into service quickly, neither aircraft will come with an elaborate livery.
Lufthansa Cargo’s final MD-11F is now doing its final rotations to Cairo, Tel Aviv, Chicago and New York with a special livery, featuring the greetings “Farewell” and “Thank you, MD-11F” on its fuselage.
D-ALCC is the final tri-jet in Europe and will retire from service when it lands in Frankfurt on Friday 15 October.
