Emirates SkyCargo will introduce two new Boeing 777Fs into its fleet in 2022 and convert four of its Boeing 777-300ER passenger aircraft into freighters between 2023 and 2024.
The Boeing 777-F aircraft will be delivered in April and June 2022 respectively. The airline was the launch customer for the aircraft which has been at the heart of the carrier’s operations since 2009.
The airline has signed an agreement with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) for the conversion of four Boeing 777-300ER passenger aircraft into full freighters. The agreement includes an option for further conversions at a later stage. The conversion programme will commence in early 2023 and is expected to conclude in 2024, with each aircraft taking up to an estimated five months for the process.
