Korean Air has announced an order for two new 747-8 Freighters, valued at $639 million at Boeing list prices. With this order, Korean Air now has seven 747-8 Freighters on order. The 747-8 Freighter offers a range of 4,390 nautical miles and a maximum structural payload capacity of 154 tons. It also offers an additional 4,221 cubic feet and 16% more revenue cargo volume than the 747-400F. In December 2009, Korean Air became the first airline to order both the passenger and freighter versions of the 747-8. The airline currently operates a total 27 Boeing freighter aircraft, and will become one of two airlines to operate both the 747-8F and the 777F. Quelle: eyefortransport |
