Boeing and CargoLogicAir took advantage of the Farnborough International Airshow to announce the delivery of the first of five potential 747-8Fs that the U.K. based subsidiary of the Volga-Dnepr Group hopes to receive within its first five years of operations.
\nCargoLogicAir earned its U.K. Air Operator Certificate early in 2016 and commenced twice-weekly 747-400 ACMI services connecting the U.K., Europe and Africa, as well as air charter services, in February of this year. The all-cargo carrier plans to use a second 747F, scheduled for delivery later this year, to develop its network into North and South America.
\nAt last year\u2019s Farnborough show, Volga-Dnepr signed an MoU with Boeing for 20 such 747s, and the deal was finalized at this year\u2019s event. Thus, the delivery of the fourth jet only two days later \u2013 and the first to CargoLogicAir \u2013 is part of both an existing agreement and a substantiation of the recent deal.
\n\u201cTaking delivery of our first Boeing 747-8 Freighter is another important milestone for CargoLogicAir,\u201d said CargoLogicAir\u2019s CEO, Dmitry Grishin. \u201cThe -8F is a remarkable aircraft, capable of carrying virtually any cargo, from temperature-sensitive fresh produce and pharmaceuticals to long aerospace and oil-and-gas cargoes through its nose door.\u201d He added that the 747-8 also offers a 16 percent increase in payload size, compared to the747-400s, 137 tonnes.
