On December 19, local time, we learned that Boeing applied to the US Federal Aviation Administration for an exemption from ICAO's 2017 fuel efficiency and emissions standards to allow continued sales of up to 35 777F and 777-200LRF freighters after the relevant rules come into effect in 2028. According to current regulations, production of the Boeing 777F and 777-200LRF, which do not meet the new emission standards, will cease at the end of 2027. Boeing said that the main reason for applying for an exemption is the continuous delay in certification and delivery of the new-generation 777-8F freighter. Although the 777-8F is expected to meet emission requirements, the target time for commissioning is 2029, and some customers think it may be postponed to 2030, leading to a supply gap in the large remote freighter market around 2028.
