Perdoch became director of product marketing for Boeing in June 2022. His eighteen years of engineering experience with Boeing includes serving as design, environmental control systems and structures engineer and contributing to the development of next-generation freighters such as the 777-8F.

Boeing delivered its thirtieth 777F to Qatar Airways in February, a little more than a month after completing its production 777 freighter order for Turkish Airlines.

UPS also took delivery of a 767-300F from Boeing in February. The express company’s first widebody freighter addition in 2026 became the 100th 767 freighter to join its fleet.

Perdoch will share insights on the latest developments in the widebody sector with:

• Danny Duan, founder and chairman of Fly Meta;

• Gilbert Birke, senior sales manager of conversions and MRO at EFW; and

• Chung Mak, special adviser to Nippon Cargo Airlines.

The widebody panel will discuss: 

• The importance of nose-loading aircraft and the outsized market in Asia;  

• An update on production and certification delays for new freighters; and  

• Growth trajectory and market demand for A330 conversions.  

Cargo Facts will present four invaluable events for airfreight professionals in 2026, the next of which is Cargo Facts Asia on March 23-25. To see the agendas and register for the events, visit CargoFactsEvents.com.
