Dubai based airline Emirates have announced that they have ordered a further five more 777-F by the end of next year, planning to have them operational by 2026. Having previously ordered nine, the extra investment will be good news for Boeing, who had announced last week that the manufacturer had intended to completely end production of the 777-F after fulfilling the initial order by the end o next year.

The 777-F is the freighter version of Boeing’s 777 lineup, currently the world’s largest and most produced twin-engine widebody aircraft.

Emirates 777-F Order

Whilst Boeing, the world’s second largest aerospace manufacturer, has had a series of well documented crisis over the last decade culminating on a long running strike, as well as ongoing issues and investigations into there 737Max aircraft.

HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group, said  in a statement:

“We’re investing in new freighter aircraft to meet surging demand and provide our customers around the world with even more flexibility, connectivity, and options to leverage market opportunity.

“Demand for Emirates’ air cargo services has been booming. This reflects Dubai’s growing prominence as a preferred and trusted global logistics hub, and also the success of Emirates SkyCargo’s bespoke solutions that address the needs of shippers in different industry sectors.”

With the addition of the extra 777-Fs, Emirates will be expanding their freight operations, which already includes 747-Fs, A350s, and A380s.

Light at the End of the Tunnel For Boeing?

Stephanie Pope, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airlines, added,

“Emirates continues to set the direction for our industry and we deeply appreciate the trust they have placed in the Boeing widebody family to serve as the backbone of their global fleet. We are proud to support Emirates SkyCargo’s growth as it relies on the performance and versatility of our 777 Freighter to further connect the world.”

It still isn’t the end of the crisis for Boeing. The strike continues, and despite this new order, the manufacturer still intends to end production of its 767-F after the culmination of a deal with FedEx and UPS in 2027. That’s not even mentioning the on going issues with the 737MAx, which continues to be dogged by technical issues and allegations of incompetence in its design and maintenance.

So will Emirates be the start if a turn around for Boeing, or is this just another cog in the machine shifting cargo and freight dominance to the Middle East. Let us know your thoughts below.
