Leasing company orders 747 freighters
The Guggenheim Aviation Investment Fund has ordered six 747-400 extended range freighters valued at $1.37 billion at list prices, Boeing said.
Guggenheim’s will lease the aircraft, which are scheduled to be delivered between late 2006 and mid-2008.
The aviation investment firm said it is adding capital investments to take advantage of increased air cargo demand. In October 2004 Guggenheim purchased five 747-400s Special Freighters, which are being converted and will be available for lease in 2007.
