Without wasting any more days, DHL has placed order for 8 more freighters from Boeing for their fleet as a result of Q4 performance. But that is not all! These B777 freighters possess the world’s largest twin-engine with a payload capacity of just over 100 tonnes which will reduce C02 emissions by 18% compared with the B747-400F. Sustainability is the name of the game!
Although DHL calls e-Commerce a ‘megatrend’ and this informed decision is based on whopping 40% growth in Q4, I feel that these aircrafts may be left under-utilised in distant future. It is true that e-Commerce is the fastest growing market today but a significant portion of that is due to the strain of pandemic. This decision is perfect for short run but will the market promise similar figures even in the future? Will the consumers get completely dependant on e-Commerce? #Freight #eCommerce #Boeing #FreightDiscussion #DHL
