TNT Express has taken delivery of its first Boeing 777 Freighter. This latest aircraft in the TNT family arrived at TNT’s European air hub in Liege, Belgium, on 23 July 2011, after completing final flight and ground tests at Boeing’s Everett factory, Washington State, USA.
The "triple seven" Freighter flies farther than any other freighter. Its range of 4,900 nautical miles (9,070 km) at full payload allows better non-stop intercontinental flights between e.g. Shanghai and Belgium. With its payload of ca. 103 metric tons, it carries almost as much as a 747-400 Freighter, while burning less fuel, thus producing less carbon dioxide.
TNT Express will operate the 777 between Asia and Europe in replacement of a 747 Freighter.
