Boeing is close to defining the freighter version of the 777X after discussions with cargo airlines and is thought to be narrowing in on a configuration based on a revised 777-8 derivative.

Although there has been speculation Boeing might offer a 777XF sized between the 777-8 and the 777-9—in a similar move to the A350-950F launched by Airbus which sits between the A350-900 and -1000 versions—the manufacturer is believed to have refocused on a larger 777-8 passenger baseline. The move, prompted by input from commercial carriers for more capacity on the 777-8, also appears to have produced an optimum size for a freighter.
