May 20, 2016 (newstodate): The Chinese cargo carrier SF Airlines is continuing its rapid freighter fleet expansion.
This week, the airline took delivery of another Boeing 737-300SF freighter after conversion by PEMCO's partner STAECO in Jinan Shandong, China, marking this company's 15th conversion for SF Airlines since 2013.
The latest addition grew the fleet to 29 freighter aircraft including the carrier's first Boeing 767-300BCF freighter, and plans are to add four more of these before the end of 2016 in addition to more Boeing 757 and Boeing 737 freighters.
SF Airlines is also the launch customer for cargo conversion by Boeing of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft, with firm orders for 30 737-800BCF in addition to options for another 25 aircraft.
The airline plans to grow its fleet to over 100 aircraft by 2020 and plans also to build China's first cargo-dedicated airport with construction of the new facility to start already before the end of this year at a yet undisclosed locality.
In 2015, SF Airlines signed a LoI with the Estonian postal company Omnia to bring Chinese e-commerce goods into Tallinn Airport for onward distribution.
