TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan's flag carrier China Airlines received its first Boeing 777 Freighter on Tuesday night (Dec. 1) as it touched down at Taoyuan International Airport.

The new plane has the words “China Airlines” greatly reduced in size and moved to the rear of the aircraft. The middle and front sections of the fuselage are currently blank so that Taiwan-themed imagery can be added, Transportation Minister Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) said in a press conference last Thursday (Nov. 26).

China Airlines has ordered six new Boeing 777 Freighters. The twin-engine cargo plane can fly long-range trans-Pacific flights in excess of 6,000 nautical miles with 20 percent more payload than other large freighters like the 747-400F, according to Boeing.

The 777 Freighter can carry 27 standard pallets measuring 2.5 meters x 3 meters on its main deck. This allows for lower cargo-handling costs and shorter cargo delivery times, Boeing added.

The name “China Airlines” has caused confusion around the world with many mistaking the Taiwanese airline for a Chinese one. In July, Taiwan’s legislature approved a proposal to have the Ministry of Transportation and Communication come up with a rebranding plan.
