I guess I am reading the article incorrectly? I read that these are replacement aircraft? Replacing older, higher emission aircraft? Seems like no news to me.

With this purchase , DHL is amending it`s business plan away from wet leased , expensive 747F type operations to a more owned and in house operation. Operators like Kalitta , Polar and Southern have just seen their negotiating leverage reduce drastically.

One thing is for sure. They won't be going to ATI, they only have scope that EXPIRES for narrow bodies that are not even built yet. Lol #dumbest contract ever #ALPAtools

I'm pretty sure we could take all of our DHL airplanes and use them with other customers immediately at K4. How a brand new 777 with an expensive lease is cheaper to operate than a 747 that's already been paid off beats me...

That`s the point - they are purchasing ( NOT leasing ) these 777`s - and I don`t think DHL cares whether or not Kalitta has paid off these 747`s or not , the monthly lease payments for a fully wet leased ACMI 747F must be ridiculous. DHL has been addicted to wet leases for a very long time , it`s finally realised that expensive wet leases are not in it`s best economic interest. Perhaps expect a few " damp leases " , at the most. Thus continues the demise of the veritable 4 holer.

And all of the ACMI children living within the DHL orphanage ran down to the square with their gruel pales to see the shiny new 777's.
