DEUTSCHE Lufthansa has ordered two Boeing 777 freighters for Lufthansa Cargo. The aircraft are scheduled for delivery in February and March 2019.
The carrier currently has a cargo fleet of five B777Fs and 12 MD-11Fs, reported London's Air Cargo News.
"The Boeing 777F is not only the world's most powerful, efficient and
environmentally friendly freighter, it is also a visible sign of our
modernisation strategy," said Lufthansa Cargo chief executive Peter
Gerber.
With a full payload of 103 tonnes, the B777F is able to stay in the air
for 10.5 hours. It covers a distance of 9,000 kilometres non-stop.
Lufthansa Cargo added: "Further projects to drive forward the
modernisation of the airline are already being implemented. For example,
the infrastructure at the hub in Frankfurt is being modernised
substantially, and a new CoolCenter is under investment at the hub in
Munich. The freight crane is also advancing the digitisation of the
entire process chain.
