Boeing and China Airlines announced the Taiwan flag carrier\nhas ordered four 777 Freighters, adding to its extensive fleet of Boeing\nairplanes. Valued at $1.4 billion at list prices, the order will enable the\nairline to capture new market opportunities as global air cargo demand\ncontinues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The 777 Freighter has played a critical role in our\nefforts to maintain profitability during the pandemic, and these additional\nairplanes will be an integral part of our long-term growth strategy,” said\nChina Airlines Chairman Hsieh Su-Chien. “We are excited to add more 777\nFreighters due to their operational efficiency and reliability. Our fleet\nmodernization program will enable us to deliver added value to our customers,\nespecially as the global supply chain continues to evolve.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 777 Freighter is the world’s largest, most capable\ntwin-engine Freighter. It has a range of 4,970 nautical miles (9,200 km) with a\nmaximum revenue payload of 102 tons (224,900 lbs.), while contributing to a 17%\nreduction in fuel use and CO2 emissions per ton compared to prior generation\nairplanes. In addition, the 777F will allow China Airlines to make fewer stops\non long-haul routes, further reducing associated landing fees and resulting in\nthe lowest trip cost of any large freighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are thrilled that China Airlines has again selected\nthe 777 Freighter to serve as the backbone of its world-class air cargo\nfleet,” said Ihssane Mounir, senior vice president of Commercial Sales and\nMarketing. “The market-leading capabilities of the 777 Freighter provide\nadded capacity, improved efficiency and greater value to China Airlines’\ncustomers, enabling the carrier to meet air cargo demand and position itself\nfor long-term growth.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2021, China Airlines’ air cargo revenue was up 186% above\nthe pre-pandemic year of 2019, which nearly balanced out a 96% drop in\npassenger revenue. Last year China Airlines Cargo recorded the best year in its\nhistory \u2013 over TWD 100 billion (USD $3.6 billion) in revenue \u2013 by leveraging\nits existing all-Boeing fleet of (18) 747-400 Freighters and (3) 777\nFreighters. With (3) 777 Freighters already on order, China Airlines’ 777\nFreighter is the perfect complement to the airline’s existing 747-400 Freighter\nfleet, seamlessly accommodating the 3-meter (10-foot) tall pallets and\nmaximizing flexibility for its air cargo operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
