The first B747-400ERF freighter for Jade Cargo International is pictured emerging from the hangar at the Boeing plant in Seattle. Almost complete, the B747-400ERF features the Chinese airline’s green and white livery.

As an international cargo carrier registered in the P.R. China, Jade Cargo International displayed its name in both Chinese characters and English letters along the aircraft’s fuselage. The handover of the freighter to Jade Cargo International and the ferry flight to the airline’s home base in Shenzhen in southern China is scheduled for the last week of July 2006.

The 111 tons payload aircraft with an intercontinental non- stop range still has to be fitted out completely. Jade Cargo International’s second B747-400ERF freighter is due for delivery in November 2006. The airline, which is based in China’s Pearl River Delta, has ordered a total of six aircraft of this type, which will enter service successively until January 2008.

Jade Cargo International was founded as a joint venture between Shenzhen Airlines (51 per cent), Lufthansa Cargo (25 per cent) and DEG - Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (24 per cent). The airline currently has 120 employees.
