Boeing mechanics began major assembly of the new 777 Freighter at the company’s Everett, Wash., facility on January 29th. The first 777 Freighter will be delivered to launch customer Air France in the fourth quarter of 2008.
“Our vision to develop the 777 Freighter as the world’s most capable twin-engine cargo airplane is now becoming a reality with the start of major assembly,” said Kim Pastega, deputy program manager and engineering leader, 777 Freighter Program. “Our customers and suppliers worked closely with us to reach this important milestone.”
