World Star Aviation has delivered a 737-800BCF to West Atlantic UK to support the airline's UK and Europe cargo operations
World Star Aviation has delivered a 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) to West Atlantic UK to support the operator’s air cargo network in the UK and Europe.
This aircraft is the first of two additional 737-800BCFs that World Star has placed with West Atlantic, following an initial three aircraft that the UK-based lessor company had delivered to the airline.
World Star said the first aircraft "will enter service shortly" and the order reflected sustained demand for efficient narrowbody freighter capacity.
Data from Planespotters shows that the aircraft, now registered as G-NPTI, was delivered to World Star in September. The 24-year-old 737-800BCF, which was converted in 2021, was transferred to West Atlantic this month.
West Atlantic Cargo Airlines holds two Air Operating Certificates, one in the UK and one in Sweden. The company specialises in wet leasing, ACMI, and full charter services for integrators, national mail organisations, and B2B e-commerce suppliers.
World Star recently purchased two 737-800BCFs, registered as MSN 29786 and MSN 29788, from Aergo Capital Limited.
The lessor manages, buys, sells, and leases commercial aircraft for the international aviation industry. It currently has over 55 aircraft in its portfolio.
The company provides an in-house asset and investment management service. This covers aircraft analysis and investment structuring, plus complete lease servicing, aircraft marketing, and technical inspection roles.
