A bigger brother for "G-OASL"
ASL Airlines United Kingdom’s first B737-800BCF has entered service with the airline and operated its first revenue service from Paris-CDG to East Midlands (EMA), where the airline is headquartered, and on to Belfast (BFS), a route which it will fly five days per week. The aircraft, registered G-OHJK, joins ATR72-200, G-OASL in the fleet of this part of ASL Group.
B737-800BCF are used primarily by ASL’s airlines to transport excess cargo and e-commerce freight and can carry up to 23.9 t with a range of up to 3,750 km. The B737NG emits 15% fewer emissions than earlier versions of the B737.
John Rawl, managing director of ASL Airlines UK: "This milestone is a positive statement of our confidence in the future of Asluk and is a step forward as we continue to grow and strengthen our UK airline." (ah)
