DHL to add three more 777 freighters to network

9/12/2011 10:15:32 AM

DHL, a major international express provider, is adding three Boeing 777 freighters that will expand its capacity and boost transit times along key growing trade routes between the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. DHL has signed an air service agreement with Southern Air to operate the new 777 freighters, the most fuel-efficient aircraft of its kind. The first 777F, which began service on August 15, will connect DHL hubs in Cincinnati, Bahrain and Hong Kong, moving around the world with each operation. The 777 freighter is expected to burn around 20 to 25 percent less fuel and has a superior max payload range on this routing, allowing more markets to be served non-stop, thereby facilitating faster delivery. DHL already has eight other 777Fs in its fleet.   Cargonews Asia
