Fourth B737-400BCF for Atran Airlines
Atran Airlines, the Russian air express carrier within the Volga-Dnepr Group, has marked the start of the new year by taking delivery of a B737-400 BCF, thus enlarging its fleet to four freighters.
The additional aircraft will support the carrier’s growing volumes, especially e-commerce shipments which now constitute a major part of Atran’s traffic. The B737-400 BCF will be deployed on existing routes between Russia, the CIS and Europe and guarantee dedicated airlift for mail and express goods.
The freighter can carry up to 23 t of cargo within a flight range of 3,700 km. The aircraft is equipped with a maindeck side cargo door and a loading system enabling it to stow eleven standard aviation pallets (2,235×3,175 mm) and containers in the cargo compartment. (ah)
