Nine Mammoth-converted B777-200s for DHL Express


DHL Express has ordered nine Mammoth-converted B777-200LR freighters from Jetran. The first cargo aircraft will be delivered in 2024, with the remaining aircraft to be supplied until early 2027.

 

This agreement is part of the overall sustainability priority to modernise DHL Express’ long-haul intercontinental fleet, including the replacement of older planes.

 

Ordering converted freighters with a shorter useful life provides an efficient bridge between current and new airframe technologies. Between 2018 and 2022, DHL bought 28 new B777-200F freighters from Boeing – 18 of those aircraft are currently in service. The remaining aircraft will be delivered from 2023 to 2025.

 

The aircraft forms the backbone of DHL’s intercontinental air network, in which DHL Express operates more than 300 dedicated aircraft with 18 partner airlines on over 2,400 daily flights, in 220 countries and territories. (cj)
