The Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental
747-8 Freighter
Boeing launched the new 747-8 family—Freighter
and Intercontinental—in late 2005. The airplanes
feature the newest wing and engine combination
in the industry today, an updated flight deck,
longer fuselage and new advanced structural
materials. The 747-8 Freighter was certified in
August, and first delivery followed in October.
Nine 747-8 Freighters were delivered in 2011.
The Freighter carries 16 percent more cargo
volume than the 747-400 Freighter and is the
industry’s only nose-cargo-loading jet. The 747-8
Intercontinental is offered as either a VIP aircraft
or as a passenger plane. The passenger plane
has an interior inspired by the Dreamliner, includ-
ing slightly larger windows and a new staircase
design. The Intercontinental was certified in
2011, and first delivery was in February 2012.
The Intercontinental is the only airplane in the
400- to 500-seat market, seating 467 passengers
in a typical three-class configuration (51 more
than the 747-400). Both the passenger and
freighter variants of the 747-8 have an increased
maximum takeoff weight of 447,70 0 kilograms
(987,000 pounds) and represent a new bench-
mark in fuel efficiency and noise reduction,
allowing airlines to lower fuel costs and fly into
more airports at more times of the day.

The Boeing 777-200ER
777-200LR
777-300ER
777 Freighter
With its wide fuselage, generous stowage and

magazine for four years in a row. At the top of
the charts for reliability and productivity, the 777
helps airlines maximize earnings, and exemplary
environmental performance makes the 777 a
welcome visitor to highly regulated airports. The
777’s long range (up to 9,395 nautical miles or
17,39 5 kilometers) and large payload capability
(301 to 365 passengers in a typical three-class
configuration) give operators access to the
world’s fastest-growing passenger markets. The
777 Freighter with 112 tons (102 metric tons) of
revenue payload capability is the largest and
longest-range twin-engine freighter and has the
lowest trip costs of any large freighter.

The Boeing 767-200ER

(21 feet) longer than the original 767-200ER, and
the 767-400ER is 6.4 meters (21 feet) longer than
the 767-300ER. The 767 is the favorite airplane
on Atlantic routes, crossing the Atlantic more
frequently than any other airplane. The 767 has
the lowest trip costs of any twin-aisle airplane in
service. The 767-300ER offers 20 percent more
passenger seating than the 767-200ER and has a
range of almost 6,000 nautical miles. A freighter
version based on the 767-300ER fuselage is

commercial freighter based on the 767-200ER.

The Boeing 737-700 737-800
737-900ER 737 MAX 7
737 MAX 8 737 MAX 9
The Boeing 737 is the world’s best-selling family
of commercial jetliners. Today’s Next-Generation
737-700, -800 and -900ER models incorporate
the latest advanced technology and design
features that improve fuel efficiency and reduce
operating costs while delivering superior passen-
ger satisfaction. The Next-Generation 737 offers
the best on-time schedule performance in the
industry. It spans the entire 110- to 220-seat mar-
ket with ranges of approximately 3,000 nautical
miles. This flexibility gives operators the ability
to respond effectively to market needs. The 737
family also includes four business jets—BBJs—
derivatives of the Next-Generation 737-700,
737-700 Convertible, 737-800 and 737-900ER.
Launched as a formal program in August 2011,
the 737 MAX is a new family of airplanes that
builds on the strengths of the Next-Generation
737. The 737 MAX will deliver significant fuel
savings and a 7 percent advantage in operating
costs over future competitors in its category,
resulting from optimized CFM International
LEAP-1B engines, a more efficient structural
design and lower maintenance requirements.
Every 737 MAX will be fitted with the all-new 737
Boeing Sky Interior, giving passengers a more
spacious cabin, overhead bins that disappear
into the ceiling while carrying more luggage and
soothing LED lighting. Four months after launch,
the 737 MAX had logged more than 1,000 orders
and commitments from airlines and leasing
customers worldwide. First flight is planned for
2016 and first delivery in 2017.
