PARIS (Reuters) – Cathay Pacific is close to placing an order for Boeing 777-8F freighters as the Hong Kong carrier embarks on the partial renewal of a fleet of 747 [cargo](https://startupobserver.com/airasia-interested-in-potential-airbus-a321neo-freighter/) jets, industry sources said on Monday.

The selection follows a competition for around half a dozen aircraft between the cargo version of Boeing’s 777X jetliner family and the Airbus A350F freighter, they said.

A Boeing spokesperson declined to comment. Cathay [Pacific](https://startupobserver.com/exclusive-u-s-funding-tapped-for-pacific-undersea-cable-after-china-rebuffed/) did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
