MAERSK Air Cargo has become the first Danish airline to own a Boeing 777F, according to Aeronews.
maersk took delivery of the first of two new Boeing 777F at the aircrafts manufacturer's headquarters in Seattle, USA and the freighter's arrival at its home airport Billund in Denmark is planned for July 13.
Maersk's air freight customers in China and Europe will benefit from increased capacity and efficiency by the introduction of the two Boeing 777F.
Both aircraft will be deployed on Maersk's existing Europe-China route with initially 3 weekly flights, and later up to 6 weekly flights.

Maersk ordered the two 777Fs in November 2021 as part of the modernization of its fleet. The delivery of the second aircraft is scheduled for later in Q3. Maersk Air Cargo's owned controlled fleet will then comprise of two Boeing 777F and 20 Boeing 767F.
The Boeing 777F can fly up to 9,200 kilometres (4,970 nautical miles) and carry a maximum payload of 102,000 kilogrammes.
Besides its owned controlled fleet, Maersk is loading a large part of the air freight volumes also on commercial flights of other airlines.
