Perdoch joined Boeing in 2006 and, prior to joining the marketing team, worked as senior configuration design engineer developing next-generation freighters such as the 777-8F. He also has experience as an engineer for environmental control systems and structures. 

Boeing has reached a milestone of 400 gross orders for its 777F after adding gross orders for eleven more in March. The 777F is the best-selling widebody freighter and Boeing has delivered 285 of the type to date. 

In February, Boeing completed the 100th 767-300BCF conversion and redelivered the freighter to SF Airlines, the largest operator of the type with twenty-five. Boeing completed its first 767-300BCF conversion in 2008. The company will terminate production of the 767-300F in 2027. 

Boeing also added orders for four more 777-8Fs to its backlog in March for a total of fifty-nine units as of March 31. In October, Boeing delayed the 777-8F’s entry into service from 2027 to 2028 to address financial needs.
