Introduction

September 9, 2021, © Leeham News: In our series on freighters, we now look at the new large conversion freighter from GECAS and IAI Bedek, the 777-300ERSF. How much of a threat will it be to Boeing’s largest freighter, the 777F, when it enters the market next year?

The 777F has the dimensions of the 777-200LR, whereas the 777-300ERSF is a P2F conversion from the larger 777-300ER. What does it mean for cargo payload and volume, and what are the differences in operational economics?

Summary

• The 777-300ERSF freighter will be the volume leader among large freighters.
• IAI Bedek has also worked hard to increase the weight capability. How close can it get to the heavy lifting 777F?
