China Postal Airlines has taken redelivery of its second 737-800BCF (30787, ex-China Southern Airlines), on lease from BBAM [ FATs 005125-5126 ]. The aircraft departed Jinan Airport (TNA) following conversion by Boeing at Taikoo (Shandong) Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. ( STAECO ). After a stop at Seoul Incheon Airport (ICN), the aircraft arrived at Beijing Capital Airport (PEK) at 4 a.m. local time on Sept. 6. Regular operations are expected to begin shortly. Unit 30787 was manufactured in 2002 and first entered service with Australia-based Virgin Blue. It then joined the China Southern fleet in 2007 and was operated until November 2018, when it was withdrawn. China Postal Airlines, which now has a total of 33 freighters, is committed to at least eight more 737-800BCF conversions from Boeing as part of a 2015 agreement. The airline took its first 737-800BCF (30786, ex-China Southern Airlines) in early August 2019 , also on lease from BBAM [FATs 005087-005088]. For Boeing, this is the sixteenth 737-800BCF to be redelivered, leaving the backlog at 104 units. In anticipation of growing demand for the 737-800BCF in the coming years, Boeing recently expanded its conversion capacity in China with another two -800BCF lines. The company now has five 737-800BCF conversion lines in China, spread across the Boeing Shanghai Aviation Services ( BSAS ) facility at Shanghai Pudong (PVG) and STAECO at TNA, and expects to redeliver a total of seventeen 737-800BCFs in 2019, compared to eight last year. The 25th Annual Cargo Facts Symposium, Oct. 16-18 at the InterContinental San Diego, is the premier aviation event of the year. With unparalleled networking and continuing education opportunities, Cargo Facts Symposium consistently attracts the best in the industry. Early registration rates are available through this Friday, Sept. 6. To register and for more information visit www.cargofactssymposium.com today!
