Responding to strong near and long-term express cargo demand, Aircraft Finance Germany (AFG) has signed an agreement with Boeing for two 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighters (BCF).
Based on the popular Boeing Next-Generation 737, the 737-800BCF offers operators newer technology, lower fuel consumption and better reliability than other standard-body freighters. Primarily used to carry express cargo on domestic or short-haul routes, the airplane is capable of carrying up to 23.9 tons (52,800lbs) and flying up to 2,000 nautical miles (3,750 km).
“We are always looking for the best way to invest and deploy aircraft that support our customers,” said Peter Koster, AFG's Head of Freighter Trading. “The 737-800BCF gives us the opportunity to serve a growing market with a workhorse that can reliably and efficiently fit into most operators' fleets.”
