Boeing Delivers 50th B777 to Air France

Air France is the launch customer for Boeing's newest addition to its freighter family, the B777 Freighter, the first of which is scheduled to enter flight test in late May. With more than 50% of its twin-aisle fleet composed of Boeing B777s, Air France has drawn upon the B777's renowned efficiency and reliability to help it achieve strong economic performance. With the delivery of its first 777 Freighter this year and through the operation of a single B777 platform, Air France will achieve significant synergies between its cargo and passenger business.

Air France's new 777-300ER will be based at Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris.
