BBN Airlines Indonesia Adds Boeing 737-400 to Expand Cargo Fleet

BBN Airlines Indonesia has bolstered its fleet with a Boeing 737-400 freighter to meet growing domestic and international logistics demand in the Asia-Pacific region.

The aircraft, converted by Aeronautical Engineers Inc. in 2017, features a maximum take-off weight of 65,090 kg and a total cargo volume capacity of 129 m³.

Strengthening Regional Market Position
This addition aligns with BBN Airlines Indonesia’s expansion strategy to strengthen its air logistics offerings. Chairman Martynas Grigas stated, “The 737-400SF is a trusted platform, enabling fast, reliable, and wide-ranging cargo delivery services.”

Expanding Fleet to Meet Industry Needs
The 737-400 joins a fleet that includes two 737-800BCFs and three passenger 737-800s. The airline, a subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group, obtained its Airline Operator Certificate (AOC) in August 2023 and plans further fleet expansions to enhance its competitive edge.

Asia-Pacific Cargo Market Trends
The Asia-Pacific cargo market remains robust, with WorldACD reporting a recent 2% increase in cargo rates. This growth underscores the strategic importance of BBN Airlines Indonesia’s investment in dependable freighter aircraft to meet regional logistics demands.

Operational Synergies with Trusted Aircraft
Grigas emphasized the reliability of the 737-400SF, adding, “This addition ensures operational synergy and supports our commitment to delivering quality services for various industries across Indonesia.”
