NEW YORK, July 16 (Bernama-dpa) -- Boeing and Emirates SkyCargo have announced an order for five additional 777 Freighters, reported German news agency dpa.
This new purchase brings Emirates' total order to 245 Boeing widebody planes, including 10 777 Freighters. Emirates SkyCargo is the cargo division of Emirates.
Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman and chief executive of the Emirates, said: "The next phase of our strategy will include a full assessment of our future freighter fleet reviewing all aircraft options to ensure we are best equipped to respond to the evolving demands of the market and reaffirming our confidence in the role of airfreight and, more specifically, Emirates SkyCargo, in global trade."
Boeing noted that the 777 Freighter can fly further and carry more freight than any other twin-engine cargo jet. The 777 Freighter is the company's best-selling freighter aeroplane with more than 265 deliveries to date.
