• National Airlines has taken delivery of its first B777-200F, it announced on social media. The aircraft was delivered at Boeing’s headquarters at Everett.
• N791CA (msn 70547) is the first of four freighters of the type expected for the US cargo specialist, and is expected to start operations shortly. The second, N792CA, has been spotted in full livery with engines installed, and is set to undergo flight testing soon.

Florida-based cargo and passenger charter operator National Airlines took delivery of its first Boeing 777-200F this week.

The handover took place at a ceremony at Boeing’s factory in Everett, Washington, on Tuesday. Officials said the freighter aircraft’s range, fuel efficiency, and payload capacity will enhance the airline’s global cargo network.

National placed an order for four 777-200F aircraft in July 2024. “This is an extension of our commitment to the aviation industry and customers to offer the most advanced and customed cargo solutions worldwide,” National Airlines Chairman Chris Alf said in a statement.
The remaining three aircraft in National’s order will be delivered “in the coming months,” the carrier said.

Besides the newly arrived -200F, National operates nine 747-400 freighters and a passenger fleet of Airbus A330-300 and A330-200 aircraft.
