“As we look to the future to expand our cargo fleet, the 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter provides the performance and efficiency our customers need.

Based on the popular 737 Next-Generation, the 737-800BCF is meeting customer demand for a next-generation freighter that offers greater reliability and lower fuel consumption and operating costs per trip compared to other standard freighters.
