MIAMI – At a time when cargo demand is exceptionally high due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Qatar Airways (QR) took delivery of three brand new Boeing 777F aircraft in one day.
The three aircraft (A7-BFX, A7-BFW, A7-BFV) took off 30 minutes apart from each other, flying over 14 hours from Everett in Seattle to Doha, Qatar. The delivery also marks the 200th Boeing 777F delivered. 242 have been ordered since the establishment of the project in 2005.
Cargo logistics has played a vital role in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The distribution of masks, gowns and other personal protective equipment and now the speedy transportation of life-saving vaccines has helped the aviation industry steady amidst the extremely low demand for travel.
