New Way Cargo readies first 737-300F for service

Kyrgyzstan-based New Way Cargo Airlines is diversifying its Russian-built freighter fleet and will soon put its first 737-300F into service. The 1996-vintage 737-300F (27520) departed Tallinn Airport (TLL) in Estonia April 9 and arrived at Bishkek’s Manas International Airport (FRU).

The aircraft remained at FRU until it flew to TLL in January to undergo maintenance and conformity checks. North-Western Cargo leased unit 27520 in November 2020 from China-based YTO Cargo Airlines, which owns 20% of the airline. The aircraft was removed from service in March 2023 and returned to YTO in September as North-Western completed its transition to a single-type fleet of 757-200Fs. With the addition of unit 27520, New Way Cargo operates six aircraft, including five Ilyushin Il-76 freighters. Second carrier with Boeing freighters

New Way Cargo will soon become the second carrier to operate Boeing freighters in Kyrgyzstan, joining Aerostan, which operates three 747-200Fs and is looking to add a 747-400F to its fleet this year. Aerostan expressed interest in the 747-400F when it acquired its first 747-200F production freighter in the fourth quarter of 2022. In neighboring Kazakhstan, startup carrier AlphaSky has two 737-400Fs and expects to take delivery of its first 757-200F this month.
