Boeing is providing three leased MD-11 Boeing Converted Freighters (BCFs) to Aeroflot Cargo. The companies joined in celebrating the freighters’ recent entry into service at a ceremony marking Aeroflot Cargo’s new fleet and the resulting operational improvements at the carrier’s facility at Frankfurt-Hahn airport.
Boeing Capital Corporation, the company’s aircraft financing arm, structured the deal and Boeing conducted the modification work at subcontractor facilities in Europe. Aeroflot Cargo, which operates four DC-10 freighters, is leasing the three MD-11BCFs on a multi-year basis.
