Boeing 777F backlog at 36 after two October deliveries
Boeing has 36 777 freighters left to deliver after two October handovers, taking its factory-built freighter backlog, including 767-300Fs, to 43.
Boeing had 36 unfilled orders for the 777 Freighter (777F) as of 31 October 2026, according to the manufacturer’s official orders and deliveries data. FedEx has the largest number of aircraft still to be delivered of any named customer, with seven in the backlog. Nine are listed against unidentified customer(s). Six remain listed against Volga-Dnepr UK Limited, the UK subsidiary of the Russian cargo carrier, which is insolvent and in administration.
In October, Boeing delivered two 777Fs. One went to Saudia. The other went to CES Leasing Corporation, which has leased it to China Cargo Airlines. With that delivery, China Cargo Airlines now operates 21 777 freighters, and it is expected to add two more production 777Fs through leases.
Boeing also delivered two 767-300Fs to UPS in October. The parcel giant still has seven more 767-300Fs on order. Together with the 777F orders, that gives Boeing a factory-built freighter backlog of 43 aircraft.
Boeing has delivered 35 freighters so far in 2026: 22 777Fs and 13 767-300Fs. In all of 2025 it delivered 50 freighters, 35 of them 777Fs. With two months of the year left, Boeing’s total freighter deliveries for 2026 have only just matched the number of 777Fs it delivered last year.
