Less than five years since the platform’s initial service entry in 2018, the 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) has reached its triple-digit delivery milestone, fueled by the freighter’s suitability for use in time-definite express and e-commerce networks. Boeing recently delivered the 100th contracted 737-800BCF to AerCap, the world’s largest lessor, which coincidentally, also took delivery of the first 737-800BCF back in 2018.
“The 737-800BCF is becoming the workhorse for the air cargo market because it has one engine type and a standard build across the -800 fleet, plus it’s a reliable freighter, which is really important,” said Rich Greener, Head of AerCap Cargo. “This has helped AerCap Cargo develop the various e-commerce and express networks with our customers.” AerCap Cargo has delivered nearly 50 737-800BCF to twelve airlines around the world.
