Cathay Pacific is reportedly in discussions with Boeing and Airbus about a potential order for up to six next-generation freighters to expand and replenish its fleet of 20 747 cargo jets while telegraphing it expects the peak holiday shipping season to be much quieter than in 2021, or some other years.
Cathay Pacific is considering the new Boeing 777-8 freighter and the Airbus A350, sources told the Bloomberg News last week. Conversion of existing Boeing 777 passenger jets is also on the table,...
Etihad Airways on Wednesday solidified an expression of interest with Airbus for seven future-model A350 freighters to expand its cargo operations, which posted record results in the first half of the year.
The Abu Dhabi-based airline earlier this year placed a tentative order for the A350 freighters, an offshoot of the popular A350 passenger jet that is in final development as a cargo jet.
Etihad is one of six customers for the all-new freighter. Airbus now has 31 firm orders from Air France,...
Luxembourg-based Cargolux has tentatively selected Boeing’s next-generation 777-8 freighter over the new Airbus A350 to replace its large fleet of 747-400 jumbo cargo jets, the companies announced Thursday at the Farnborough International Airshow near London.
Boeing also said it landed an order from Saltchuk Aviation, the parent company of Aloha Air Cargo, Northern Air Cargo and StratAir, to convert three more used 767-300 passenger jets into main-deck freighters.
Cargolux is the largest operator...
Boeing this week announced two new orders, including from a new customer, for its 737-800 converted freighter while a separate retrofit design from Israel Aircraft Industries for the same
model gained access to the European market. This reinforces the latest forecasts for significant growth in narrowbody cargo planes converted from passenger jets.
Airbus is gunning for the 737-800 with its fledgling A321 that hit the market 18 months ago and the smaller A320 conversion, the first unit of which...
Continued growth in demand for shipping goods by air will translate into a global freighter fleet in 2041 that is 80% larger than today, Boeing said over the weekend in a market outlook slightly more bullish on air cargo than a year ago and compared to rival Airbus’ new forecast.
The rosier analysis explains why Boeing projects a need for 540 more dedicated cargo jets than Airbus over the next 20 years.
The world’s dominant jet manufacturers issued their visions of how the passenger and air...
Silk Way West Airlines, an all-cargo carrier based in Azerbaijan, placed an order with Airbus on Tuesday for two A350 large freighters, moving from an exclusive Boeing fleet for the first time.
The decision is another win for Airbus as it makes its first serious challenge to Boeing’s dominance in the production freighter market. With the Silk Way West deal Airbus now has 33 preliminary orders and commitments for the A350 freighter program it launched late last year. Air France, Air Lease Corp.,...
