JUL 06, 2005 (newstodate): While orders for passenger versions of the Boeing 747 have long since dried up, the cargo versions are still attracting customers.
Thus, Boeing has today confirmed that Guggenheim Aviation Partners, a U.S.-based aviation investment firm, has placed an order for six 747-400ER freighters valued at approximately USD 1.37 billion at list prices.
Deliveries are scheduled to begin in late 2006 and continue through the first half of 2008.
In October 2004, Guggenheim also purchased five 747-400 Special Freighters which will become available to operators starting in 2007, with four aircraft already placed in Special Freighter configuration with Martinair.
Guggenheim currently owns a total of 11 Boeing aircraft, eight of which are leased to operators, with three in freighter conversion programs.
Eighteen cargo carriers have now ordered a total of 126 747-400 and -400ER freighters.
