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.

Who would be DHL's "in-house" 777 operator in the U. S. that would be taking business away from Kalitta , Polar and Southern?

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

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.

DHL is not new to buying aircraft....they bought and own quite a few new 767s a few yrs back plus 4 ABX 767s.....

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.
