Ethiopian Airlines has officially ordered eight 777-8 Freighters, becoming the first African airline to order the newest member of the 777X family. The confirmed order marks a major step in the airline’s long-term cargo expansion. The 777-8F will join Ethiopian’s established Boeing freighter fleet and support its growing network across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. Built for demanding long-haul cargo operations, the 777-8F can carry up to 118 tonnes of structural payload, combining high capacity with long-range capability and improved fuel efficiency. It also retains important commonality with the 777 Freighter, including the ability to accommodate large outsize cargo. Ethiopian Airlines currently operates 12 Boeing 777 Freighters, and these eight new 777-8Fs will bring the airline’s next-generation 777X technology into its cargo operation. Eight 777-8Fs. One major milestone for Ethiopian Airlines and a new chapter for the 777X in Africa. 🇪🇹✈️ @ETaviation_bot
