Due Boeing B.777 Freighter sono stati consegnati alla Southern Air Holdings. Sono i primi B.777 acquisiti dal vettore specializzato cargo basato a Norwalk, nel Connecticut (USA).
Southern Air, a sua volta, opererà i due B.777F per conto della Thai Airways International, che diventerà la prima compagnia aerea nel Sud Est Asiatico ad impiegare questo tipo di aereo sulle proprie rotte cargo.
L’acquisizione di questi due aeroplani rende la Southern Air il primo operatore ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance) a disporre del nuovo B.777 Freighter.
