Cargolux Covers 747-8F Delay With Lease
3. february 2011 12:07 | CargoAviation Week
Boeing confirms it is leasing a 747-400BCF to Cargolux to cover a capacity shortfall caused by the extended delay to the delivery of the first 747-8F.
The former Korean Air 747 was delivered to the freight carrier via Hamburg, Germany on Jan. 25 following refurbishment and repainting into partial Cargolux colors at Marana, Ariz. Cargolux, which operates 16 747-400Fs, was forced to lease the aircraft after Boeing announced in September 2010 it was pushing back delivery of the first 747-8F by around six months to mid-2011.
