ATRAN takes delivery of first Boeing 737-400SF
ATRAN Airlines, a Volga-Dnepr Group company, has added a Boeing 737-400SF to its all-cargo fleet.
The aircraft operated its first scheduled flight from Moscow to Cologne in Germany on August 10th.
"The Boeing 737-400 is a twin-engine medium-haul airplane that is perfectly suited to our planned short and mid-range routes. Putting this aircraft into service with ATRAN will enable the company to offer a wider scope of services to our clients. Furthermore, the purchase of this aircraft is another step in one of our key projects of developing feeder and distribution network services,” said Wolfgang Meier, ABC VP Sales.
The new addition to the ATRAN fleet is a converted passenger B737-400. The conversion was performed by Aeronautical Engineers, a company with vast experience in converting passenger aircraft to freighter configuration. ATRAN expects to take delivery of its second B737-400F by the end of the year.
