hi.
in the local news they are reporting that Cargolux is planning to increase its fleet, from currently 13 747-8R7F7SCDs (some are still on order, not delivered to date). this means that they will gett 5 more.
The 777F was also speculated to enter the Cargolux fleet, but after the retirement of Qatar Airways in the group of shareholders, plans were scrapped, in favor of the good old traditional Cargolux.....
also discussed was a mixed fleet of 13 748F and several 744F (the youngest to remain) but that was not an economical option, as it was to operate a two-sub-types-fleet, which they haven't done since several years, the last time was in the end 90s, when they retired their 742F (we do not speak now about the leased-in-fleet....)
for all those who like the 744F: ICV will remain with one 744F.....
great news for Cargolux and for Boeing's 747 program....
