Boeing, Cargolux finalize order for 10 777-8 freighters

Boeing said Wednesday it finalized an order for 10 777-8 Freighters with Cargolux, after the Luxembourg-based cargo airline picked the planemaker's newest freighter to replace its 747-400 fleet. The selection of 777-8 by Cargolux was announced at this year's Farnborough International Airshow. The deal, valued at about $4.1b at list prices, was previously listed as unidentified on Boeing's orders and deliveries website. Boeing has now booked more than 50 orders for the 777-8 model, which was launched earlier this year.<br/>
