99.1 per cent despatch reliability for 777F

Boeing has used the delivery of Qatar Airways’s first 777 Freighter to highlight that the 777F’s despatch reliability since entering service in February 2009 is running at 99.1 per cent.

Qatar Airways’s first of three 777Fs, the 23rd 777 Freighter to be delivered so far, was handed over on May 17 at Boeing’s Delivery Center at Everett before it flew nonstop to Doha, Qatar.
