All five freighters will be delivered by 2023. “The new Boeing 777 freighter demonstrates our ongoing efforts to strengthen our network, adjust flight routes and lower our carbon emissions to achieve greener logistics,” DHL Express executive vice president for aviation, Robert Hyslop, said. “Singapore Airlines expertise in flight operations will enable us to better meet cross border commerce customer demand as we leverage the strategic location of our South Asia hub in Singapore.”
