S7 Airlines takes delivery of its first 737-800 converted freighter
Russian carrier S7 Airlines has taken delivery of the first of a pair of Boeing 737-800 converted freighters. The aircraft are being leased to the airline by GECAS. Freight division S7 Cargo will take responsibility for commercial management of the 737-800BCF aircraft’s capacity. The first aircraft (VP-BEN) was transferred to Moscow Domodedovo from a facility in Ostrava on 18 February. It is a 2002 airframe originally delivered to Ryanair. S7 Airlines says its initial flights are scheduled on routes from Moscow to Norilsk and Yakutsk from the end of February. “With the delivery of the first 737-800BCF a new phase in the development of S7’s cargo transport arm begins,” says S7 Cargo chief Ilya Yaroslavtsev. “[We] see serious prospects in this sector given the rapid development of e-commerce.”<br/>
