The three converted aircraft will lift the Star Alliance member's 777F freighter fleet to 11 and increase freight capacity by about 10%, the airline said. "EVA Air is actively thinking about contingency strategies and re-examining its fleet planning. It also is optimistic about future air cargo market demand," EVA general manager, Sun Jiaming, said. A converted 777-300ER had a maximum cargo payload of 100 tonnes and a cargo volume of 28,000 cubic feet compared with the 777F freighter's 106 tonnes and 23,000 cubic feet, EVA said.
