Tianjin may be looking at widebody freighters after parent HNA Aviation Group reached a deal with EFW to send some of its A330s for conversion at the Grand China Aircraft Maintenance facility in Haikou (HAK).
The China-based carrier operates three 737 next-generation freighter conversion types after starting to fly its — and China’s — first 737-800SF (34707, ex-Hainan Airlines) in November 2024.
Tianjin acquired unit 34707 from Yangtze River International Leasing to fulfill a Civil Aviation Administration of China requirement that every airline own at least one aircraft in its fleet.
In addition to unit 34707, Tianjin has leased five 737-800BCFs from three lessors — Spectre Air Capital, AerCap and Icelease — and one 737-700BDSF on lease from Spectre.
Tianjin completed its transition to next-generation narrowbody freighters after removing its final two 737-400SFs (29914 and 29915) from service in 2023.
