Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates Airline, has taken delivery of its third Boeing 777 Freighter, the most modern, technologically advanced large freighter available. It joins Emirates’ expanding fleet of Boeing 777s, serving an ever-growing demand from a global cargo market.
The 777F will be deployed to Brazil serving São Paulo (VCP) thrice weekly complementing the daily passenger operation to Guarulhos International Airport (GRU).
“Even in an uncertain global economy, our commitment to facilitating international trade remains strong,” said Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline, whose Cargo team worked closely with the plane maker on the design of the state-of-the-art aircraft.
Designed to better meet Emirates’ customers’ needs, the newest addition to the Emirates SkyCargo fleet features a wide main deck cargo door for easier uplift of oversized shipments.
With a long-range flying capacity of over 17 hours without refueling, capability of carrying up to 103 tonnes of cargo and technologically advanced General Electric (GE) engines, the Boeing 777F provides greater flexibility than any other freighter aircraft in operation today. It also maintains the lowest fuel burn of any comparable sized aircraft.
Emirates is the largest operator of Boeing 777 aircraft in the world, currently with 91 Boeing 777s in its fleet.
