National Airlines is advancing its strategic freighter fleet expansion with the introduction of a second Boeing 777F, as part of a program launched in 2024 to modernize and grow its long-haul cargo operations. The airline has a firm order for four Boeing 777 Freighters, described as its first direct purchase of aircraft from Boeing.
The first Boeing 777-200F was delivered on 14 April 2026 at Boeing’s Everett facility in Seattle. This aircraft marked a key milestone in National Airlines’ fleet modernization, adding a new-generation long-haul freighter alongside its existing cargo fleet based primarily on Boeing 747-400 freighters. The airline plans to take delivery of three additional 777-200F aircraft in the following months, bringing the total to four aircraft as announced in 2024.
National Airlines historically operates a sizeable cargo charter business with a fleet that includes multiple Boeing 747-400 freighters, complemented by passenger aircraft such as Airbus A330 and Boeing 757. The 777F integration is designed to increase efficiency on long-haul routes and support the airline’s growth in international air freight. The company’s fleet overview indicates that delivery of the four 777 freighters is scheduled within the 2026 financial year, in line with its broader expansion and renewal strategy.
