Atran Airlines, scheduled express cargo carrier within Volga-Dnepr Group and GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) have inked a lease agreement for two 737-800 freighters.
The passenger-converted aircraft are scheduled to be phased in during the remainder of 2018 and in the first half of 2019. They will provide additional capacity to Atran’s existing fleet of three Boeing 737-400 freighters and will increase Altran’s fleet to five.
Boeing 737-800 freighters are perfectly suited to short and mid-range routes which form the basis of Atran’s scheduled network.
