National Airlines has committed to its first order of four Boeing 777 Freighters, enhancing the airline’s commercial cargo service and increasing its market share across global operations.
“We are elated by this remarkable order of four Boeing 777 Freighters. This demonstrates our commitment to offering efficient, resourceful, and modern air freight services to support our global customers’ increasing transportation demands,” said Christopher Alf, Chairman of National Airlines. “The order affirms our fleet growth plan as we enter into the next chapter of National. We sincerely appreciate the support from Boeing and all its associated teams in this journey ahead.” Once finalised, National Airlines’ first direct purchase of Boeing airplanes will be posted on Boeing’s Orders & Deliveries website.
“We appreciate National Airlines for its trust in Boeing and the 777 Freighter to expand the carrier’s global fleet and deliver greater value for its customers,” said Stephanie Pope, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “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.”
The 777 Freighters will join National Airlines’ growing fleet of nine 747-400 freighters. Designed to integrate seamlessly with existing 747 operations, the 777 Freighter facilitates easy cargo transfer between the two aircraft, streamlining ground logistics and offering additional cost savings through fleet commonality.
