GECAS has announced that it will lease two 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighters (BCF) to M Jets International’s start-up, Kargo Xpress.
Delivering in October and December 2021, these two 738BCFs will greatly increase capacity for Malaysia’s newest freight carrier. Kargo Xpress began scheduled flights in June with one 737-400F and this added capacity will enable the operator to provide fast, timely and efficient delivery of goods as they expand their footprint to include Northern China and Western India and serve some thinner, underserved routes.
Gunasekar Mariappan, Managing Director, M Jets International, said, “Kargo Xpress appreciates the close working relationship with GECAS to induct our initial two 737-800 BCF. We are focused on developing a robust, reliable, cost effective network within Asia, centered around a fleet of 737 freighters. Our goal is to be the provider of choice for express e-commerce shipments, as well as point-to-point delivery, trans-shipment and flight-truck services for our time-to-market sensitive customers within Asia.”
