Description
In this week’s episode of the “Cargo Facts Connect” podcast, Cargo Facts Editor Jeff Lee and Associate Editors Andrew Crider and Robert Luke discuss a series of widebody developments involving a variety of freighter types.
First, Japan Airlines will operate its own freighters again after a hiatus of more than ten years as part of a groupwide growth strategy.
Meanwhile, China Airlines is continuing to retire its production 747-400Fs even as it experiences delays in receiving new 777F orders; Cargo Three is adding ex-FedEx MD-10Fs; and Airbus has delayed entry into service of the A350F into 2026.
Tune in for a discussion of these topics and more for the week ending May 5, 2023.
