  2. Interesting, It would be very good if they had these airplanes, they could replace the ones 747 in the future but for now I like them better 747, They have more capacity and autonomy apart from the fact that it is very beautiful to see them in UIO but a replacement would be good to refresh the fleet. Good post

    correction, according to airfleets.net Atlas Air's fleet of Boeing 777Fs are only the classic version (200LR), including the order of 4 and not from B777-300 converted to Freighter. Thanks.

    Indeed, Nicolás is interesting news because Atlas Air operates in Quito with its Boeing 747-400F and 747-8F..

    As I read the Boeing 777 Converted Freighter were Boeing 777-300 second-hand and I think they are the perfect replacement for the B747-400F. Today the B777F (derivatives of the B777-200LR) They are smaller but adapt very well to the global trend of using more twin-engine aircraft, even in the cargo market..

    Possibly after Valentine's season (flower export) Let's see some Atlas Air Boeing 777F in the future in Quito. By the way, Do you know if FedEx will operate regularly in Quito?? I have seen that from time to time they send their B767Fs and once a B777F arrived
