Central Airlines adds B777F to expand global operations

Central Airlines has strengthened its international cargo capabilities with the addition of a Boeing 777 Freighter. The China-based carrier, headquartered at Haikou Meilan International Airport in Hainan, received the leased aircraft this month as part of its ongoing fleet expansion strategy. With this latest addition, Central Airlines’ fleet now includes two Boeing 737-300 passenger-to-freighter (P2F) aircraft, four 737-800P2Fs, and six 777Fs. Tie Gong, Head of Network and Planning at Central Airlines, highlighted the aircraft’s significance in a recent LinkedIn post, “The Boeing 777F brings modern efficiency, extended range, and proven reliability — qualities that perfectly align with KTW’s role as a 24/7 cargo hub at the heart of Europe.” The move underscores Central Airlines’ commitment to expanding its long-haul cargo operations and strengthening its presence in the global air freight market.
