Why the Boeing 747-400F Fits Delaware

Cargo movements through Delaware are handled at New Castle (KILG), and the handling available at both ends decides what is practical.

A published range of 4,445 nautical miles brings Los Angeles, San Francisco, London and Paris within reach of Delaware, before the operator applies reserves and routing for the day.

Payload, door dimensions and the loading equipment at both ends decide what is workable, and your advisor will check all three against your load.
