China Southern to expand cargo fleet - good news for Boeing?

By SwizStick • Jan 30th, 2007 • Category: Air Cargo, Airlines

Liu also announced that China Southern plans to operate a fleet of 20 freighters within five years. The airline currently operates two 747 freighters and announced an order for six 777 freighters last year. All of the new freighters will also be 777s, Liu said.

If China Southern goes ahead with their plans it could mean a potential US$ 2.88 billion for Boeing. Via Air Cargo News.
