DHL to place B777Fs with Central Airlines

DHL has announced on 10 July 2024 that it has signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) with Central Airlines from China to place two Boeing B777Fs with the airline for operations within the DHL-network.

It's currently unclear if these aircraft are coming from DHL's existing order book with Boeing or are some of the ordered converted B777s,

DHL currently has 28 B777Fs in service, which it has placed for operations with AeroLogic, DHL Air UK, Kalitta Air, Polar Air Cargo, and Singapore Airlines.

It has open orders for six more B777Fs with Boeing directly and with Mammoth Aerospace for nine B777-200LRMFs.

Central Airlines today operates a fleet of three B737-300SFs, five B737-800BCFs, and two B777Fs.
