Can you advise, how many -400F's does CX currently still have, and do you know the time frame for their retirement (if there is one). Also, your news of additional orders for the -8, would these be replacements for the -400's, could this mean an increase in the current total freighter numbers, or could they be going to CA for that CX/CA Freight co-op in Shanghai?
5 X 400F
1 parked last month plus another to go at some stage, old rollers, I think they'd like to ditch them ASAP.

6 X 400ERF (keeping still newish).

10 X -8Fs
Plus 3 more arriving this year, they're currently sitting on the tarmac in Seattle part of the CX/CA freight rehash.

Plus unknown number of extra -8Fs, as the Boeing production line slip up shows #14, probably replacements for the -400Fs so maybe an order of 4-5?

I think the CX/CA thing has gone quiet, they're going down the 777F route selling the BCFs back to Boeing.
