Texel Air receiving its first Boeing 737

The growing demand for adaptable aircraft for both cargo and passengers resulted in Texel Air receiving its first Boeing 737-800BCF last year. The business was the first Middle Eastern carrier to implement the strategy to expand services amid the ongoing increase in international cargo activity.

The demand for passenger-to-freighter conversions remained high for the airline in the past year, particularly from companies with a growing presence in the express and e-commerce industries.

A former Boeing 737-800 passenger aircraft that has been converted to transport cargo is known as the Boeing 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter.

Boeing claims that the 737-800BCF can fly 2,025 nautical miles with up to 23.9 tonnes (52,800 pounds). Over the next 20 years, 1,720 freighter conversions will be required; this project aims to help with that. A cargo door that measures 3.58 m x 2.18 m, or 141 x 86 inches, can accommodate a lot of freight, of course.

Compared to 737 Classic freighters, the 737-800BCF uses 20% less fuel overall. Like a brand-new aircraft, it is backed by Boeing as well, providing Texel and other airlines with the support and adaptability they need to satisfy demand in the upcoming chapter.
