Cargolux orders 10 Boeing 777-8 freighters to replace older jumbos
Cargolux, a major all-cargo airline based in Luxembourg, has finalized an order with Boeing for 10 next-generation 777-8 freighters with options for six more aircraft, the companies announced Wednesday.
The move keeps Cargolux in the Boeing camp after Airbus late last year introduced a rival large freighter based on its popular A350 widebody passenger jet, its first serious effort in years to take on Boeing (NYSE: BA) in the freighter arena after a short-lived run making A330-200s.

The Daily Dash: Will this be the best fourth quarter in recent memory?
Has truckload rates peaked until the holidays?
Load volumes are still extremely strong, but week-over-week gains have been declining. This could be a sign that growth in tender load volumes may have peaked until the normal seasonal surge in holiday traffic later in the fourth quarter.
The truckload market remains historically strong, though. Fourteen out of the 15 freight markets the Freight Intel Group monitors, showed week-over-week increases in tender load volumes. The only exception was...
