China Postal Airlines has signed with Boeing for 10 737-800 Boeing translated transporter, although the program has yet to be launched.

The agreement also includes the purchase of seven Boeing 757-200s, which China Postal plans to convert into freighters, says Boeing in a statement.

“The 737 BCF will bring to our transporter fleet more advanced avionics, better fuel capability and lower controlling costs that will ensure China’s Postal’s continued victory as a leader in the industry.

China Postal is the second transporter to sign for the 737 BCF program, after Hangzhou-based YTO Airlines.

Boeing says the order comes “pending a product launch”, and that it will promote customers in the narrowbody transporter market with the 737 BCF program.

“We are devoted to this program, which addresses an expanding need in the market, and are presently working with multiple customers in China and around the world who are fascinated in the experience, faithful implementation and perfected global support Boeing brings,” says Rick Anderson, Boeing Commercial Air transportation Services’ vice president of sales and marketing.

Both Boeing and Pemco have been polling customers for interest in the type as current 737s are replaced by the re-engined 737 Max.

Flightglobal’s Fleets Analyzer shows that China Postal has two 737-300QCs, 12 737-300SFs and eight 737-400SFs in service.
