Insights

This order for five additional Boeing 777 Freighters by Emirates SkyCargo is a significant development for Boeing's commercial aircraft business. The deal, valued at approximately $2 billion at list prices, strengthens Boeing's position in the important air cargo market.

The expansion of Emirates SkyCargo's fleet highlights the robust growth in global air freight demand, particularly in e-commerce and time-sensitive logistics. This trend is likely to benefit Boeing in the long term, as the company forecasts a need for 2,845 new freighters over the next two decades.

For investors, this order underscores Boeing's strong market position in the widebody freighter segment, where it holds a dominant 90% market share. The 777 Freighter's superior range and payload capabilities make it an attractive option for long-haul cargo operations, potentially driving further sales in this high-margin product line.

This deal represents a positive cash flow event for Boeing, with an estimated value of $2 billion based on list prices. While actual transaction prices are typically lower due to bulk discounts, the order will still contribute significantly to Boeing's backlog and future revenues.

The additional orders bring Emirates' total 777 Freighter commitments to 14, demonstrating customer confidence in Boeing's products despite recent challenges. This repeat business from a major customer is important for maintaining investor confidence and supporting Boeing's financial recovery efforts.

Looking ahead, the growing air cargo market presents substantial opportunities for Boeing's freighter business. With a projected demand for nearly 3,000 new freighters over two decades, Boeing is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend, potentially leading to sustained revenue growth and improved profit margins in its commercial aircraft segment.

DUBAI, Oct. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] and Emirates SkyCargo today announced an order for five more of the world's largest and longest-range twin-engine freighter, building on its earlier purchase of five 777 Freighters. The latest order, which was finalized in September and listed as unidentified on Boeing's Orders and Deliveries website, brings Emirates' order book to 249 Boeing widebody airplanes, including 14 777 Freighters.

As the cargo division of the world's largest international airline, Emirates SkyCargo plans to operate 21 777 Freighters in the coming years ─ nearly doubling its current fleet of 11 freighters as the carrier continues to expand capacity.

"We're investing in new freighter aircraft to meet surging demand and provide our customers around the world with even more flexibility, connectivity and options to leverage market opportunity," said HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group. "Demand for Emirates' air cargo services has been booming. This reflects Dubai's growing prominence as a preferred and trusted global logistics hub, and also the success of Emirates SkyCargo's bespoke solutions that address the needs of shippers in different industry sectors."

The 777 Freighter can fly farther (9,200 kilometers / 4,970 nautical miles) and carry more freight (102 tonnes) than any other twin-engine cargo jet today. This capability enables operators to fly more freight on more nonstop routes with better operating economics, connecting high-value cargo markets such as the Middle East with the U.S. and Europe.

"Emirates continues to set the direction for our industry and we deeply appreciate the trust they have placed in the Boeing widebody family to serve as the backbone of their global fleet," said Stephanie Pope, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "We are proud to support Emirates SkyCargo's growth as it relies on the performance and versatility of our 777 Freighter to further connect the world."

The 777 Freighter is Boeing's best-selling freighter of all time, with 275 delivered to date. As the market leader in freighter airplanes, Boeing provides more than 90% of the worldwide dedicated freighter capacity, including new production and converted airplanes.
