B747-400ERF joins National Airlines fleet
USA-based National Airlines has added a Boeing 747-400 ERF, extended range freighter, to its fleet. The aircraft is a fuel-efficient freighter under registration N663CA (MSN 35237). Featuring a nose door and a large side door, it is a logical choice globally for sophisticated cargo movements across long distances.
The aircraft has a maximum gross payload of 128 t (about 282,000 pounds). The nose door loading capability, a unique feature of this type of aircraft, gives National the capability to move customers' shipments of any length, which is not possible with the B777 freighter.
The 747-400 ERF is also particularly suitable for pharmaceuticals, seafood, perishables, and other cold chain shipments. (cj)
