Volga-Dnepr Group and Boeing have signed a contract for the delivery of five new long-range Boeing 747-8F freighters, with an option for another five.
The first Boeing 747-8F is scheduled to join AirBridgeCargo Airlines in February 2010; the next four are due for delivery between 2011 and 2013.
The order is valued at $1.4 billion at list prices
Volga-Dnepr has also secured an option to buy another five Boeing 747-8Fs.
Boeing aircraft now account for around 90% of the global freighter fleet, with more than half of all existing international cargo capacities represented by Boeing 747 aircraft.
With this order, Volga-Dnepr becomes the seventh customer announced for the new 747-8 Freighter, joining Atlas Air, Cargolux, Emirates, Guggenheim Aviation Partners, Nippon Cargo Airlines and Korean Air.
