Interesting article Zoner.
Particularly since Leahy cites CX as being strong influence on Air Hong Kong buying new and yet they've just announced they are going to add up to 12 B744SFs to their fleet. SQ, TG and LH will too. Boeing forecast that 497 large (MD11 and up) converted freighters needed over next 20 years. At a typical on the road price of $50m - $70m compared to $180m - $200m for a new A380F I suspect that Sonic Z won't be short of airframes to fly!
