The B777Fs will join National Airlines’ fleet of nine Boeing 747-400Fs and are designed to integrate with 747 operations, allowing cargo to be transferred between the aircraft.
The B777F has a range of 4,970 nautical miles and a range of 107 tonnes.
Stephanie Pope, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, says, “We appreciate National Airlines for its trust in Boeing and the 777 Freighter to grow the carrier's global fleet and deliver greater value for its customers.”
She adds, “With its cargo capacity, range and reliability, operators continue to rely on the 777 Freighter to build their future fleets, making it the best-selling freighter of all time.”
Christopher Alf, Chairman of National Airlines, says, “The order affirms our fleet growth plan as we enter into the next chapter of National. We sincerely appreciate the support by Boeing and all its associated teams in this journey ahead.”
