Fla., July 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- National Airlines officially announced a commitment to

"We appreciate National Airlines for its trust in Boeing and
the 777 Freighter to grow the carrier's global fleet and deliver
greater value for its customers," said Stephanie Pope, president and CEO of Boeing
Commercial Airplanes. "With its cargo capacity, range, and
reliability, operators continue to rely on the 777 Freighter to
build their future fleets, making it the best-selling freighter of

The long-range Boeing 777 Freighter complements the existing
National Airlines fleet with a range of 4,970nmi (9,200km) and can
carry a maximum payload of 102 tonnes (224,900 lb). As one of the

cargo charter options to strengthen its supply chain movement and
transportation demand in the future. The increased cargo capacity
