Japan Airlines is selling 10 of its Boeing 747-400BCFs to US-based Kalitta Air amid surging demand globally for the aircraft type. JAL will deliver the first B747-400BCF in May 2009, with negotiations for a second BCF to be added in July 2009, adding to its existing fleet of 19 B747-400 freighters. The sale of the remaining eight aircraft has yet to be confirmed but is expected to be completed by 2011.
