National Airlines completes test flights for 2nd B777 freighter
Carrier plans to add two more B777 freighters next quarter as it expands its long-haul cargo fleet alongside existing Boeing 747 operations.
US-based cargo carrier National Airlines has completed test flights for its second Boeing 777 Freighter in Everett and is expecting delivery of the aircraft in the coming weeks, further expanding its long-haul freighter fleet.
The development comes shortly after the airline took delivery of its first Boeing 777 Freighter in April, a milestone that marked a significant step in the company’s 35-year growth history and its fleet expansion plans.
National Airlines said its third and fourth Boeing 777 Freighters are expected to be delivered in the next quarter as the carrier continues to strengthen its cargo operations and international network.
The Boeing 777 Freighter is one of the largest and longest-range twin-engine freighters in operation and is widely used for long-haul cargo transportation. With the induction of the new aircraft, National Airlines is expanding its widebody freighter capabilities to support growing global cargo demand.
Apart from the new Boeing 777 Freighters, National Airlines operates a fleet that includes Boeing 747 freighters and passenger aircraft used for cargo and charter operations. The carrier has been involved in transporting general cargo, oversized shipments, humanitarian aid and military logistics across international markets.
