Atlas Air Enters Into Long-Term Agreement with Kuehne+Nagel for Two Boeing 747-8 Freighters
2022年2月17日 - 10:30PM
Atlas Air, Inc., a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc.
(Nasdaq: AAWW), today announced it has entered into a
long-term, dedicated charter agreement to operate two of its new
incoming Boeing 747-8 freighters on a global basis for
Kuehne+Nagel, one of the world’s largest freight forwarders.
Atlas Air will commence operation of these
aircraft for Kuehne+Nagel following their delivery from Boeing,
with one expected in the third quarter and the second in the fourth
quarter of 2022. Atlas Air operates one of the world’s largest
fleets of 747-8Fs, the most capable freighter aircraft in the
world. These two aircraft placed with Kuehne+Nagel are the last
747s Boeing will produce.
As previously announced, Atlas ordered the last
four 747 production aircraft to capitalize on strong demand and
deliver value for its customers, while also bolstering its
commitment to environmental stewardship through the reduction of
aircraft emissions, resource consumption and noise. This legendary
aircraft has been in production for over 50 years and will continue
to serve the needs of our global supply chains for decades into the
future.
“We are delighted to expand our partnership with
Kuehne+Nagel by providing dedicated capacity for their growing
global airfreight network,” said Atlas Air Worldwide President and
Chief Executive Officer John W. Dietrich. “The Boeing 747-8F serves
an incredibly important role in global airfreight, with advanced
technology that allows for lower fuel consumption, higher capacity
and unique nose-loading capability. We look forward to taking
delivery of these two 747s and operating them for Kuehne+Nagel to
support their network for years to come.”
Yngve Ruud, Member of the Management Board of
Kuehne+Nagel, responsible for Air Logistics, commented: "As a
market leader in airfreight, Kuehne+Nagel further expands its
dedicated charter network to support customers with solutions for
long-term planning and high-quality service. We are proud to
partner with Atlas Air and include these two new Boeing 747-8Fs in
our already extensive global capacity offering."
The 747-8F provides 20% higher payload capacity
and 16% lower fuel consumption than the very capable 747-400F.
