[MAX777]

Neuer Kunde für den 777F kommt aus Asien und ist Eva Airways mit 10 Orders!

 

"EVA Airways said on Tuesday it plans to purchase 10 Boeing 777-200LRF's for around $2 billion.

The 777-200LRF fleet is designed to replace EVA Air's MD-11 and Boeing 747-400 freighters.

 

Already in April 2004 EVA signed a contract for $1.49 billion to purchase 8 B777-300ER's.

 

The jets will be powered by GE90-115B engines made by Boeing's longtime partner, GE Aircraft Engines.

 

EVA operates a fleet of 50 passenger planes and freighters.

The first Boeing 777-200LR flew on March 08, 2005, as the first Boeing 777-300ER flew on 24FEB2003.

The 777-200LRF is based on the long-range passenger version of the jet, with a 10-foot-high side cargo door added and the floor strengthened to support the cargo.

The 777-200LRF should enter service in 2006.

This freighter version will carry 101 metric tons of cargo a distance of 5,200 nautical miles.

In comparison, the 747-400, can carry 113 metric tons over 4,450 miles.

The777-200LRF will have a similar capacity to the MD-11 freighter.

 

Boeing would soon launch the new derivative of its jumbo, the 747 Advanced, and that this too will have a freighter version later.

If Boeing failed to launch that airplane ? which would be a surprise ? the market for the 777 freighter would be even bigger.

The freighter will have a list price similar to the passenger version, which sells for between $202 million and $226 million. "

 

Eigendlich ne gute Nachricht für Boeing!

Hi!

 

Bloß ist diese Bestellung noch nicht in trockenen Tüchern :-(

Ähnlich wie bei Jet Airways, Qatar Airways und Air India.

Aber das ist ja wohl nur noch ne Frage der Zeit, bis das alles geregelt ist.
