Cathay orders five 777-300ER aircraft
Cathay Pacific Airways has placed an order for five more advanced wide-body Boeing 777-300ER “ExtendedRange” aircraft.
The five aircraft will be purchased directly from the Boeing Company and bring the total order of this aircraft type to 23.
Delivered in 2011, the new Boeing 777-300ER will be used primarily on long-haul and ultra-long-haul routes to Europe and North America.
In addition, Cathay Pacific is also scheduled to take delivery of another 12 aircraft – four Airbus A330-300s, six Boeing 747-400ERF “Extended Range Freighters” and two 747-400BCF “Boeing Converted Freighters” by 2009.
