Boeing secures two 777Fs orders in January

Boeing has reportedly secured an order for two 777 production freighters in January. The aircraft manufacturer’s Airplane Gross Orders report for January 2025 shows ’unidentified customer(s)’ purchased two 777Fs last month.  Boeing recorded a total of 35 777F orders last year. 2024’s tally of 35 777F orders is a turnaround from 2023 when 777F orders amounted to 10. In fact, last year orders levelled up with the pandemic boom years for air cargo. There were 35 777F orders in 2022, while in 2021 there were 42. In 2020 there were 13 and in 2019 there were 17. Data shows that 13 777Fs were delivered last year. The 777F is perceived as a solid choice for operators in the face of the environmental constraints facing older freighters, as well as the increasingly limited choices available, plus delays to market of the newbuild Airbus A350 and Boeing 777-8 freighters.
