Boeing and Atlas Air Worldwide have an order for four 777 Freighters.
We are excited to offer our existing and prospective customers more fleet and service offerings with the four new 777s. John W. Dietrich, Atlas Air Worldwide president and CEO, said that Atlas is serving the evolving needs of the global supply chain and delivering value for its customers.
Atlas Air Worldwide, as a global leader in airfreight, has once again chosen to grow with Boeing and our freighter family. Ihssane Mounir, Boeing senior vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing, said that the new 777 Freighters provide Atlas with more capacity, fuel efficiency and operational flexibility for its customers. We're confident that the efficiency, capability and flexibility of our freighter family will meet customer needs now and in the future, as air cargo demand continues to grow.
The world's largest, longest-range twin-engine freighter, the Boeing 777 Freighter, has the lowest trip cost and highest reliability of any large freighter. With a range of 9,200 km, the 777 Freighter can carry a maximum revenue of 224,900 lbs, while reducing fuel use and CO2 emissions compared to prior airplanes.
The previous record for freighter orders was broken through November 2021, with 80 orders for new production freighters and more than 80 orders for converted models.
The world's largest operator of jumbo jets has 49 of them in its fleet. The two models are designed to work together, allowing operators to transfer cargo loads between the two on 10-foot tall pallet. The cargo and passenger carrier has a fleet of 757 and 776 airplanes.
Allegiant Air is ordering up to 100 jets.
