FEB 24, 2003 (newstodate): TNT Express will add two Boeing 737-300Fs to its European network.
The first of the new aircraft will enter service in May, with the second expected to join the fleet by autumn of 2003.
The aircraft will be converted by GECAS into full freighter capabilities offering a payload of 16.5 metric tonnes and will be the first Boeing 737 freighter aircraft in the world to have 9 rather than 8 ULD positions.
The lease on each aircraft is for an initial two years with an option to extend the agreement for a further three years.
The B737s will replace other chartered-in aircraft presently operating as part of the 37 strong fleet in the TNT Express air network.
