Boeing reports 93 freighters in backlog, 777-8F orders hit 59
Boeing has delivered 27 freighters through June 2025, MSC Air Cargo to acquire two more 777Fs.
American aircraft manufacturer Boeing has released its 2025 orders and deliveries data as of 30 June 2025. The data shows that the company has 13 Boeing 777 freighters on order, 8 for FedEx Express and 5 from two unidentified customers.
The delivery report shows that Boeing delivered a total of 27 freighters through June 2025. These include 20 units of B777F and seven units of B767-300F. In June alone, Boeing delivered four units of B777F, and customers include Air China Cargo, Atlas Air Worldwide, DHL Aviation Americas, and CFS Leasing Corporation. In the same month, it also delivered one each unit of B767-300F to UPS and FedEx.
The company also has an unfilled order backlog of 93 freighters with 65 units of B777F and 28 units of 767-300 freighters. The unfilled order for 767-300 freighters includes 14 for UPS, six for FedEx Express, and eight for an unidentified customer.
As for the 777F, the unfilled orders include 11 for Emirates SkyCargo, eight for FedEx Express, six for Volga-Dnepr, four each for National Airlines, Silk Way West Airlines, and Turkish Cargo, two for DHL Aviation Americas, one for CMA CGM, and 25 for unidentified customers.
In his first detailed interview since becoming Boeing’s president and CEO in August 2024, Kelly Ortberg addressed concerns over the production timeline of the 777F freighter. He expressed confidence that Boeing will deliver the remaining backlog of metal-wing 777F aircraft before the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s (ICAO) emissions compliance deadline in 2027.
Interestingly, speaking during a panel discussion on “The future of air freight and freighters” at the air cargo Europe and transport logistic event in Munich last month, Jannie Davel, CEO of MSC Air Cargo, confirmed the company’s plans to acquire two additional Boeing 777 freighters.
“So, it's like every constraint has an opportunity, as the opportunity comes, we will go and get more freighters,” he said in response to a question about MSC Air Cargo’s fleet expansion plans. “We have been growing steadily now. And if the opportunity arises and the demand stays, we will explore it.”
With its Italian Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and a growing operational base in Milan, MSC Air Cargo is clearly positioning itself for expansion. “We need to grow a little,” noted Davel. “Right now, we have five freighters, four Boeing 777Fs operated by Atlas Air and one owned and operated by MSC Air Cargo, and two more are on the way.”
However, the official Boeing order data does not list the orders attributed to MSC Air Cargo.
Notably, Boeing’s orders and deliveries data do not specifically mention the 777-8F, its upcoming next-generation widebody freighter and a direct rival to the Airbus A350F. However, Boeing has secured a total of 59 orders for the 777-8F so far. The aircraft is expected to enter service in 2028.
From the year 1958 to 2025, Boeing data shows that it has delivered 297 Boeing 777 freighters.
