Korean orders two more freighters

Korean Air has ordered two new Boeing 747-8 freighters, worth US$639 million.
The order will bring the number of B747-Fs on order for the carrier to seven. Korean currently operates 27 Boeing freighters.

The B747-8 freighter offers a range of 8,130km and a maximum structural payload capacity of 140 tonnes, according to Boeing. It also offers an additional 120cu metres and 16% more revenue cargo volume than the 747-400F.

“The 747-8 freighter will provide tremendous economics and reliability to Korean Air’s global operations,” said Marlin Dailey, VP, Sales & Marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
