National Airlines has bolstered its fleet with the addition of a fourth Boeing 777-200 Freighter, delivered from Boeing's Everett facility in Washington. This acquisition marks a significant step in the airline's strategy to expand its global cargo operations, offering high-capacity and flexible solutions to customers worldwide.
The new aircraft, designated N798CA, will soon commence commercial service, enhancing National Airlines' ability to connect major cargo markets and support specialised, time-critical shipments. The airline's fleet now comprises four Boeing 777-200 Freighters, nine Boeing 747-400 freighters, and a mix of Airbus A330-300 and A330-200 passenger aircraft.
Christopher Alf, Chairman of National Airlines, stated, "With four Boeing 777 Freighters now part of our fleet, we have significantly enhanced our longhaul cargo capabilities and our ability to respond to the evolving needs of our customers." He acknowledged the collaboration with Boeing and GE, which facilitated the successful delivery of the aircraft.
The Boeing 777-200 Freighter is designed for longhaul operations, capable of carrying over 100 tonnes of cargo or flying nearly 5,000 nautical miles nonstop, depending on the load. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of cargo, including industrial equipment, pharmaceuticals, and humanitarian supplies.
Established in 1991, National Airlines provides comprehensive logistics, freight forwarding, and charter services, operating globally from hubs in cities such as Orlando, Frankfurt, and Dubai.
