National Airlines Completes 777-200F Freighter Fleet Expansion

National Airlines has taken delivery of its fourth new-build Boeing 777-200F freighter, completing the airline’s 2024 order for four aircraft and strengthening its international air cargo capabilities.

The latest aircraft, registered N798CA, was delivered at Boeing’s Everett facility in Washington and is expected to enter commercial service shortly.

The addition completes National Airlines’ planned fleet expansion and provides the carrier with greater capacity to support long-haul cargo operations and evolving customer requirements across international markets.

The four Boeing 777 freighters are expected to support the airline’s growing presence in the international air cargo sector, transporting a wide range of specialised cargo including oversized and high-value shipments, humanitarian supplies, aerospace equipment, energy-related cargo, automotive products and pharmaceuticals.

National Airlines first ordered four new-build 777-200F aircraft in 2024. The first aircraft was delivered in April 2026, followed by the third aircraft at the end of July. The latest delivery brings the airline’s 777 freighter fleet to four aircraft.

National Airlines, part of National Air Cargo, now operates four Boeing 777-200Fs and nine Boeing 747 freighters, alongside Airbus A330 passenger aircraft. The expanded fleet enables the airline to provide tailored cargo and passenger charter services across global markets.

The completed 777 freighter programme strengthens National Airlines’ ability to handle specialised and time-sensitive cargo while expanding its capacity to connect customers with international supply chains.
