Thai wet leases 777 freighters
Thai Airways said Thursday it has booked capacity on two Boeing 777 freighters with Connecticut-based Southern Air through a block space agreement.
Southern Air is a specialist in 'wet leasing,' where the lessee airline pay by hours operated, rather than for its own use of the plane. Since late March, Thai has used the arrangement to operate two freighter services — Bangkok/Frankfurt/Bangkok and Bangkok/Hong Kong/Amsterdam/Bangkok.
The 777 freighters have capacity for 102 tons of cargo, or 37 pallets. Thai said the larger cargo door allows for shipment of particularly large shipments.
