GECAS (GE Capital Aviation Services) has signed an agreement with S7 Airlines for two 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) aircraft. S7 Cargo, general agent for cargo operations sales of S7 Group, will manage freight services.
S7's air freight program currently utilizes belly capacity on passenger planes and these narrowbody freighters will mark the inauguration of dedicated air freighters for the Russian-based operator.
GECAS, Boeing's launch customer for the type, expects the freighters to deliver in November 2020 and January 2021. The aircraft will fly medium and short-haul routes for S7.
