Atlas Air, a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, has taken delivery of a Boeing 777 Freighter which it will operate on behalf of its customer MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company SA, under a long-term ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance, insurance) agreement. Atlas Air now operates four 777 Freighters worldwide on behalf of MSC, enhancing the shipping company’s global reach and capacity. The initial 777F was delivered in November 2022, followed by the second and third deliveries in July and November 2023, respectively.

This new aircraft will complement the existing weekly service, including a route from Hong Kong (HKG) to Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW).

Anders Matikka, Vice President, Air Cargo, MSC, expressed the significance of this milestone, stating, “This latest 777 Freighter delivery represents a pivotal moment and significant milestone for our company as it marks the completion of our first set of aircraft in partnership with Atlas Air. This new and enhanced fleet will empower us to elevate our offering, ensuring enhanced support for our valued clients and a stronger presence in the market.”

The Boeing 777 Freighter is renowned for being the longest-range twin-engine freighter in operation, known for its high reliability, fuel efficiency, and lower maintenance and operating costs. With a range of 4,970 nautical miles (9,200 km) and a maximum structural payload of 235,900 pounds (107 tonnes), the 777 Freighter also meets noise-sensitive airport accessibility standards worldwide.
