Emirates SkyCargo orders 5 Boeing 777 freighters

Emirates SkyCargo, the cargo division of the Emirates Group, ordered 5 additional Boeing 777 cargo planes to modernize its equipment.

“Dubai's economic agenda is aimed at doubling foreign trade and strengthening Dubai's position as a global trade hub. Stephanie Pope of Boeing Commercial Airplanes said, “We deeply appreciate Emirates' trust in the Boeing Widebody Family and are committed to supporting long-term strategic growth plans.”

Boeing is responsible for supplying over 90% of the world's cargo aircraft production capacity, including both new and modified aircraft. The 777 is Boeing's “best-selling” cargo aircraft, and more than 265 aircraft have been delivered to date.
