o the best of my knowledge, EK does not own any 747's
They Defiently own 2 Min
It can carry 20t more than a B777-200F; it has a larger volumetric capacity; and its nose loading door can accommodate over sized cargo rigs
Dont know about Europe, but here in OZ, Majority of Freight is through the Door, Not the Nose. They can accomadate maindeck pallets from the B744F aswell i believe, same size door.
It may Carry 20T more, but how much more fuel is it burning, i am sure there are pros and cons for both.
B77F's will replace alot of the Classic Freighters i believe
