Introduction  

February 10, 2022, © Leeham News: Boeing introduced the freighter version of the 777X last week, and we made a first article about how it stacks up against Airbus’ new freighter, the A350F. The Boeing freighter will be the market’s largest freighter when it enters the market in 2027, two years after the A350F.

We now use our performance model to fly the new freighters against the present Boeing 777 freighter, the 777F, to look at their operating economics.

Summary
  • Both new freighters handsomely beat the 777F on operating economics.
  • The race is much tighter between the 777-8F and A350F.
