SF Airlines has taken delivery of its 20th Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF).
The airline’s parent, SF Express, launched SF Airlines in 2009 to improve its delivery and air logistics capabilities and as of April 2023, has grown its all-Boeing freighter fleet to 81 airplanes.
- The carrier’s 20th 767-300BCF was converted at ST Engineering’s maintenance, repair and overhaul facility in Singapore.
Why it matters
SF Airlines introduced its first widebody freighter in 2015 – a 767-300 Boeing Converted Freighter – and with a fleet of 20 and growing, SF Airlines now the largest operator of the type.
- “With the 767-300 Boeing Converted Freighter, the backbone of SF Airlines’ widebody freighter fleet, we can provide better service to our customers by adding economically efficient capacity to our network,” said Robert Zhang, director, commercial department of SF Airlines.
- “Compared to standard-body freighters, the 767-300BCF enables us to achieve higher efficiency on key routes, accelerate international route expansion, and serve a larger logistics market,” said Zhang.
