he Boeing B777
family of aircraft has
been a workhorse
of long-haul travel
for more than three
decades. Naturally
benefiting from the
maturity of the product, the B777200
freighters have also garnered
substantial demand in the dedicated
freighter segment, riding on the
phaseout of the B767 freighters, which
shouldered the responsibility prior to
entry into service of the B777-200F.
Additionally, with discontinuation in
production of the B747F and no firm
date on entry into service for the
B777-8F, the B777-200F is the current
front-runner in the widebody freighter
segment until 2027 when it is expected
to cease production.

The B777-200F has been a popular
aircraft among logistics market leaders
like FedEx and DHL, as well as airline
operators such as Qatar, China Southern
and Lufthansa (among others). The
GE90-110/115 engine powers the
passenger variant of the B777-200/300
as well as the B777-200F aircraft.
Cockpit commonality and standard
avionics package, combined with
common maintenance infrastructure,
provides operational and commercial
advantages to airlines operating both
passenger and freighter variants.
Among the widebody freighters, the
B777-200F currently offers versatile
and flexible operational capabilities due
to its competitive payload and range
capabilities as well as cargo deck
capacity to accommodate 10-foottall
pallets. It is fair to say that the
Range
A330F has both less payload and less
range, so it is not seen as a genuine
competitor of the B777-200F. However,
the A350F - expected to enter in to
service in 2026 - is expected to be
the first genuine challenger to Boeing's
monopoly since at least 2017 when
the last A330 production freighter
was delivered.
According to Boeing's orders and
deliveries status, there have been
353 total orders for the B777-200F,
with delivery of 266 aircraft thus far.
Approximately 95% of the global fleet
continues to be in service, showcasing
resilient demand from operators that
appreciate the capability of the freighter
with the remainder in storage. The
surge in freighter demand during the
COVID-19 pandemic proved beneficial
for the B777-200F. Demand for new
