Cargolux (CV, Luxembourg) will acquire four B747-400FSCD freighters from China Airlines (CI, Taipei Taoyuan), doubling the previously disclosed purchase of two freighters. The negotiated transaction is valued at about USD85 million, with the sales agreement becoming effective on June 23, 2026, after Cargolux's board approved the deal. China Airlines said it expects to record a gain of about USD39 million from the sale. Cargolux is acquiring the used freighters as deliveries of its B777-8Fs have slipped to 2028-2029, extending the carrier's reliance on the B747 fleet.
