The Boeing 777 Freighter has overtaken the 747 freighter in all variants as the most widely operated widebody cargo aircraft, with more than 330 in active service carrying close to 40% of the world's air cargo capacity. Boeing says the fleet carried US$4 trillion in global trade over the past year, and the type has moved high-value goods, medical supplies, industrial components and humanitarian aid since its first delivery in 2009. The 777-8 Freighter, the next member of the 777X series, will carry up to 118 tonnes with 30% lower fuel consumption and has 89 firm orders from operators including ANA, Cargolux, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways and Korean Air Cargo.
