Cargolux orders 10 Boeing 777-8 freighters

 Boeing and Cargolux have finalised an order of 10 777-8 freighters with options for six additional aeroplanes with a signing ceremony at Cargolux's headquarters in Luxembourg. "The selection of Boeing's newest freighter was previously announced at this year's Farnborough International Airshow as Cargolux's preferred choice as the replacement for its 747-400 Freighter fleet," says a release from Cargolux. 

The order was previously listed as unidentified on Boeing's orders & deliveries website. Cargolux's choice of the 777-8 freighter underlines its commitment to establishing long-term sustainability. Europe's number one all-cargo airline has a long-standing engagement towards sound operations and the 777-8 freighter offers reduced emissions, noise as well as the lowest fuel use and operating costs per tonne of any large freighter, the release said.
