MSC Air Cargo ordered five Boeing 777-8F Freighters at the 2026Farnborough International Airshow 2026, becoming the previously unidentified customer in Boeing’s order book and making its first commitment to the Boeing 777X family. The order makes MSC the third European operator of the type and increases Boeing’s firm 777-8F backlog to more than 80 aircraft, despite the aircraft not yet entering service. The 777-8F is positioned as a replacement for aging Boeing 747-400Fs and current 777Fs, whose production will end ahead of 2028 international emissions standards.
