Shanhang's first B737-800 passenger-changing aircraft today delivered a capacity of 25 tons to more than 6 times to the original

Qilu.com · Lightning News, August 31st News On the morning of August 31st, the delivery ceremony of Shanhang's first B737-800 cargo aircraft was held at Shandong Swire Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shandong Taikoo").

It is understood that the delivery of the first B737-800 cargo aircraft marks a new step in Shanhang in terms of air freight development, and Shanhang Passenger Cargo develops a new chapter with a strategic development strategy. After the delivery of the cargo aircraft, Shanhang will build the base hub bases in Jinan and Qingdao, and the passenger and cargo route network facing Japan and South Korea and covering Asia. It is about to open Qingdao to Osaka and Nagoya freight aircraft routes. Shanhang's first B737-800 cargo aircraft has entered the official complement of the Civil Aviation Administration on August 26. After completing the review and certification of the bureau, it is expected to be officially put into operation on September 26.

"Bring goods" more and more professional

Compared with the passenger aircraft's abdomen and temporary passenger transportation and transportation, by installing a larger main cargo door and loading and unloading system for the aircraft, the first B737-800 cargo aircraft can achieve both "pulling large pieces", and the efficiency of cargo loading and unloading is greatly improved. Be better to meet customer transportation needs.

The airline's abdomen space is limited, and only allowed luggage items, mailing items, and small batch of goods to be transported. Larger goods and tray cannot be loaded. The modified B737-800 cargo machine can provide 141.4 cubic meters of cargo loading space, including the location of twelve cargo panels (11 standard cargo boards and one half-size cargo board). Cube of cubic meters of revenue loading space, the cargo carrying capacity can reach about 25 tons, which is 6-7 times that of the original belly cabin transportation.

In response to the new crown epidemic in 2020, Shanhang began to use passenger reform flights to develop freight business. Although passenger reform, although the amount of goods transported by the abdominal cabin is increased, it can only be installed at most 12 tons of goods. Most of the high -value cargo products such as mechanical electronics and cold chains need to rely on the entire freight machine to undertake transportation tasks. Therefore, operating the entire cargo aircraft business will help further meet the needs of freight development, improve market competitiveness, and promote the development of mountain shipping business towards large -scale and professional directions, thereby providing customers with better and fast freight services.

With the advancement of the whole cargo aircraft modification, Shanhang will build the Base in Jinan and Qingdao, and the passenger and cargo routes covering Japan and South Korea and covering Asia. The routes of Qingdao to Osaka and Nagoya will be opened, and a number of domestic international cargo aircraft routes will be opened to build a domestic influential backbone aviation logistics network, which will continue to optimize the route network layout around the national comprehensive three -dimensional traffic network.

Take the policy to the east wind, the passenger and goods are strong

At the end of 2021, Shanhang and Boeing signed a cargo machine modification agreement. In 2022, it has successively invested cargo capacity through its own aircraft modification to gradually establish a 737-800BCF all-cargo fleet. After the first cargo aircraft was put into operation, Shanhang plans to implement the second and third cargo aircraft in the first half of 2023 and the second half of the year, and formed at least 5 freight aircraft fleets at the end of the "14th Five -Year Plan" to make full use of the " The collaborative advantage of passenger and cargo linkage has established an aviation capacity foundation for serving the construction of Shandong's strong provinces and a strong transportation country in Shandong.

It is reported that as of the end of 2021, Shanhang has maintained a 27 -year safety flight record. The main transportation industry currently has 134 B737 series aircraft, and has operated more than 290 domestic, international, and regional routes. It is a fulcrum, covering more than 80 large and medium -sized cities across the country, and opened Taiwan, Hong Kong routes and South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, India, Singapore and other international routes. In recent years, Shanhang has insisted on deeply cultivating the main base of Shandong, based on Jiqing, building an international regional hub for Japan and South Korea, and continued to optimize the route network layout around the national comprehensive three -dimensional traffic network. At present, 106 aircraft capacity of 134 aircraft operates around the Shandong market.

90 days of "Transformed", "Old Partner" becomes a "new friend"

The B-5111 aircraft modified by the full cargo machine is the first batch of B737-800 aircraft introduced from the combination of Shanhang from dry branch to the development of gradually tilted to the trunk line. It has a 17-year passenger flight. Maintain excellent safe flight records. Shanhang seized the continuous development opportunities of the aviation cargo market, converted its own aging passenger aircraft into a cargo aircraft, giving it a new mission of its air freight development, and allowing the "old partner" at the end of the passenger to rejuvenate youth. Choosing its own aircraft for modification is Shanhang's active attempt and exploration of the use value of the B737-800 aircraft to optimize the whole life cycle, and realize the asset optimization allocation. Compared with other external source aircraft, choosing a self -owned aircraft with complete and maintenance records and familiar maintenance conditions is also conducive to maintaining higher maintenance efficiency and better ensuring the safety and normality of flight operations.

The first B737-800 cargo machine modification work was launched in Taikoo, Shandong on May 31. It took a total of 90 days. The modification work mainly includes a lounge compartment of the larger main cargo cabin, the cargo loading and unloading system, and the two non -flight crew members or passengers. Compared with temporary passenger reform, the technical level, time input and cost of all cargo modification are higher. Shandong Taikoo Engineers said that under normal circumstances, 30 people can complete temporary passenger reform within 1 day, and this time the entire cargo machine has been modified by 50 days.
