new 777F Order.” So without any further ado, Let's begin.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 was
a year of recovery for the two largest commercial plane makers. However, Boeing and Airbus still
have quite a way to go before deliveries are back to pre-pandemic levels. For the full year 2021,
Boeing delivered 340 aircraft, compared to 157 and 380 in 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Boeing says September generated
22 net orders, the eighth month in succession for which net orders have been positive. The board of
China Airlines (CAL) approved the purchase of four Boeing 777F cargo planes for a total of NT$39.18
billion to be delivered beginning in 2023.
Taiwan’s main carrier said the new planes would help it develop routes across the
Pacific and strengthen its position as the fifth major freight airline in the world.
China Airlines benefited from the cargo-carrying capacity of its eighteen 747F and three 777F
freighters due to the strong demand in the cargo market during the COVID19 pandemic.
Those aircraft, along with the belly-hold
cargo of passenger aircraft, have had a remarkable impact on the airline's business. Multiple records
were broken in 2021, including sending out over a hundred cargo charter flights in one month.
"We are thrilled that China Airlines
has again selected the 777 Freighter to serve as the backbone of its world-class air cargo fleet,"
said Ihssane Mounir, senior vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing. "The
market-leading capabilities of the 777 Freighter provide added capacity, improved efficiency,
and greater value to China Airlines' customers, enabling the carrier to meet air cargo demand and
position itself for long-term growth."
Boeing and Emirates announced an order for two 777 Freighters at the 2021 Dubai Airshow. The
freighters will be operated by Emirates SkyCargo, which currently operates an all-Boeing fleet of
10 777 Freighters and also carries cargo on Emirates' 134 777 passenger airplanes.
"Emirates plays a key role in
making essential goods available to customers and consumers globally through the capacity available
on our widebody fleet, the reach of our global network, and the advanced infrastructure at our
Dubai hub," said His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman, and chief executive,
Emirates Airline and Group.
The 777 Freighter, Boeing's best-selling freighter of all time is the world's largest, longest-range,
and most capable twin-engine freighter. Boeing launched the freighter version of its 777X
wide-body aircraft after securing a record order from Qatar Airways for up to 50 cargo planes,
along with a similar number of 737 Max 10 jets, giving the US planemaker an edge over arch-rival
Airbus.
The combined value of the deal is worth more than $30 billion at list prices, the companies said in
a statement. Qatar Airways placed a firm order for 34 new 777X freighters with an option for 16
more in a deal worth more than $20bn at current list prices. The order is the largest freighter
commitment in Boeing's history by value, it said.
This order makes Qatar Airways the first customer of the next-generation Boeing 777 Freighter.
The first Boeing 777-8F is expected to be delivered to Qatar Airways in 2027.
The largest 777 freighter aircraft
operator is Federal Express. Qatar Airways have a total of 244 aircraft in service as of early
February 2022. 85% of the in-service fleet are widebodies, including Boeing and Airbus types.
"The commitment includes 30 GE9X engines and four GE90-115B engines, plus GE TrueChoice services."
according to GE Aviation's announcement of the new selection."We are confident that Qatar Airways’
focus to drive towards a sustainable future will be very much supported by the efficiency of the
GE9X engines." Al Baker said.
