More freighter orders for Boeing

January was kind to Boeing in terms of freighter aircraft orders – especially if you consider the 767-200C a freighter.

To start, Istanbul-based Turkish Airlines converted two 777 passenger aircraft orders to freighters, and an unidentified customer ordered one 777F. As shown in the chart, this brings Boeing’s total orders for the type to 168 (including seven commitments from FedEx not shown on Beoing’s order-and-delivery website). Of these, 128 have been delivered, leaving the manufacturer with a healthy backlog of forty 777Fs.
