Freighter aircraft lease-finance specialist Spectre Cargo Solutions, through its Irish entity NGF Overseas Aircraft, has delivered a Boeing 737-700BDSF to Tianjin Air Cargo (TJAC).
The freighter is on a long-term operating lease with Tianjin Air Cargo. It is the first Boeing freighter of the type to be delivered to a Chinese operator.
Tianjin Haite Aircraft Engineering (HAITE) performed the IAI B737-700BDSF modification for Spectre; the aircraft is the fourth B737-700BDSF received by the lessor.
Before conversion, the aircraft had been operated by Xiamen Airlines since 1998. Together with TJAC’s Spectre- leased B737-800BCF, this latest delivery brings TJAC’s fleet to four Boeing freighters.
Spectre’s program has produced B737NG freighters at four international sites to date, and expects to consume all of its exclusive capacity committed to Spectre under its launch customer agreement with IAI.
Spectre has a number of freighters in varying stages of production and will take delivery of at least five Boeing B737-800 freighters and one B737-700 freighter over the next several months, bringing its delivered total to sixteen B737NG freighters.
Spectre’s order book currently exceeds 30 freighters across B737-800BDSF and -700BDSF (IAI), B737-800BCF (Boeing) and B757-200PCF (Precision).
