Boeing delivers first 777 Freighters to Southern Air
Boeing has delivered two 777 Freighters to Southern Air Holdings, Inc., with THAI Cargo to be first in Southeast Asia to utilise the aircraft type.
The addition of these two aeroplanes makes Southern Air the world's first aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance (ACMI) operator to feature the 777 Freighter.
Southern Air has entered into an agreement to operate the two 777 Freighters on behalf of Thai Airways International. Thai Airways will utilise the full capacity of the 777 Freighters, becoming the first carrier in Southeast Asia to offer this capability to its freight customers.
"We are delighted to be the first in the region to provide this capability to our customers," said Pruet Boobphakam, THAI executive vice president, Commercial Department and former acting managing director, Cargo & Mail Department. "The 777s are truly best-in-class planes and will be valuable additions to our cargo offerings."
Filling the gap between mid-size widebody cargo aeroplanes and the larger 747 freighters, the 777 Freighter (with 102 tonnes of revenue payload) delivers lower tonne-mile costs, flies greater distances non-stop, and achieves the lowest trip costs of any large twin-engine freighter.
Southern Air is a portfolio company of Oak Hill Capital Partners. In addition to the new Boeing 777 Freighters, Southern Air operates a fleet of 16 Boeing 747 Freighter aeroplanes.
