The Boeing 747-400F is still the champion aircraft when needing to move plenty of cargo in a single trip for long-haul distances.
The B747 is a go-to choice for air cargo charter due to its efficiency, capacity and availability, especially when there is high-demand for air cargo transport. While the passenger variety have been retired in recent years, the freighter 747s long-haul ability make them quite prominent. The B747F is still in regulation worldwide, and is vital for moving goods, equipment and heavy-lift cargo. Since 2020, the utilisation for the B747F is up globally.
The B747-400F freighter is the all-cargo transport variant of the Boeing 747-400 family of aircraft. Having one of the largest cargo capacities of any freight aircraft, the B747 can transport payloads exceeding 100 tonnes and a flight range of around 13 hours. Highly adaptable, the B747 design features both side and nose loading doors including a mechanised cargo handling system. The swing-up nose is great for dealing with some of the challenges of wide, tall lengthy oversized freight that may not fit in the door of other aircraft types. It can reasonably accommodate a length of up to 185 feet long and 12.5 feet wide and nearly 9.9 feet high.
