ASL Airlines Australia, part of ASL Aviation Holdings has announced the expansion of its fleet with the lease of its second Boeing 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter to its fleet.

Originally delivered by Boeing in May 1999 and converted to freighter configuration in 2022, the aircraft will undergo final modifications ahead of its deployment across ASL’s growing Australasian cargo network in late-July. The aircraft joins ASLA’s B737-800BCF, VH-CYK, which was delivered in May 2024. VH-CYK was the first 737BCF certified to operate in Australia and is operating across the Australian domestic and international markets.

Air freight plays a vital role in overcoming the unique logistical challenges of Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. With e-commerce demand surging and next-day delivery fast becoming the standard, logistics providers are turning to dedicated, reliable cargo solutions.

This latest fleet addition supports ASL Airlines Australia’s ongoing growth, particularly between New Zealand and Australia.

“A massive thank you to our global ASL team for supporting ASL Airlines Australia in sourcing our second 737. Leveraging the ASL Group’s expertise and network is a key part to driving our success” said Stefan Oechsner, Managing Director at ASL Airlines Australia.
