National Airlines has taken delivery of its third Boeing 777-200 freighter within four months and expects to add a fourth 777F in the coming months.
The aircraft, registered N795CA, entered commercial service on 30 July by operating a charter flight to the Middle East.
Florida-based National Airlines ordered four newbuild 777-200Fs in 2024. The airline was presented with its first 777F in April at a special delivery event at a Boeing factory in Seattle, US.
The quick delivery of the second and third 777Fs, and the expected fourth 777F, will support the airline’s growing presence in the international air cargo market and enable it to transport oversized, high-value, humanitarian, aerospace, energy, automotive, pharmaceutical, and other specialised cargo.
Christopher Alf, chairman of National Airlines, said: “The delivery of our third Boeing 777 Freighter represents another important milestone in our strategic growth journey and reflects our continued investment in building one of the world’s most capable and versatile charter cargo fleets.
“As customer demand for reliable and customized air cargo solutions continues to grow, the Boeing 777 Freighter provides the performance, efficiency, and global reach required to support complex logistics operations across diverse industries.
“We extend our sincere appreciation to Boeing, GE Aerospace, and all of our valued partners whose collaboration has made this achievement possible.”
National Airlines, part of National Air Cargo, now operates a fleet of three 777-200Fs, nine Boeing 747Fs, plus Airbus A330-300 and A330-200 passenger aircraft to enable it to provide tailored global cargo and passenger charter solutions.
