To meet the exploding demand for express package delivery, Chinese express giant SF Express has been rapidly expanding the fleet of its airline subsidiary, SF Airlines, from a single Precision-converted 757-200PCF redelivered in October 2009, to the mixed fleet of four 737-300Fs, three 737-400Fs, and eight 757-200PCFs it operates today. The new order with Precision comes as something of a surprise, given that SF’s fleet expansion was accelerated late last year with an order by SF for five more 757-200 P- to-F conversions – not from Precision, but from ST Aerospace. Under that agreement, SF became the launch customer for ST Aero’s 15-pallet 757-200 conversion program. ST Aero has converted close to one hundred 757-200s for FedEx, but those were all in a 14-pallet configuration, and SF wanted its new 757 freighters to match the 15-pallet configuration of its Precision-converted units. The first of these five entered conversion at ST’s Seletar Airport (XSP) facility in January 2014, with redelivery planned “by the end of the third quarter in 2014.” SF Airlines now placing even more 757 P-to-F orders is another indicator of the growth of the express business in China. The driving force behind this growth in demand is the rate at which Chinese are switching to the internet to do their shopping. While much of the B2C volume moves by road, The country’s growing middle class has taken to online shopping with a passion, and according to reports in the Chinese media and the State Post Bureau, express deliveries in China were up 51.9% in the first quarter, to 2.6 billion. Express companies combined revenue for the quarter was up 45.6% to US$6.6 billion. The demand for package delivery is growing so rapidly that it far exceeds available capacity: The existing players – China Postal Airlines and SF Express – are expanding their fleets as fast as they can. Last year, in major change of focus, Air China Cargo ordered four 757-200 P-to-F conversions from Precision, and is now operating them in overnight service for China Postal Airlines. Shanghai-based YTO Express applied for, and has now received, authority to operate its own airline, and has ordered several narrowbody conversions. STO Express, another Shanghai-based express company, is awaiting authority to operate its own airline.

  • SF Airlines, China's Leading Freight Airline, Retrofits Their Aircraft With
    PRESS RELEASE 19 May 2020 Beijing SF Airlines, China’s leading freight airline, retrofits their aircraft with Thales/ACSS avionics to improve air traffic efficiency and capacity SF Airlines has selected Thales and ACSS as the exclusive equipment supplier for airborne ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) equipment for its fleet to improve air traffic efficiency and capacity, in an active response to CAAC’s (Civil Aviation Administration of China) call for implementation of ADS-B technology. Thales and ACSS will provide ADS-B-compliant solutions for SF Airlines’ existing 59 aircraft and future optional aircraft, notably including replacement TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System), TCAS directional antenna, and ATC (Air Traffic Control) transponders. SF Airlines © SF Airlines SF Airlines, which operates China’s largest cargo fleet, has chosen Thales and ACSS, an L3Harris Technologies and Thales joint venture, as the exclusive avionics suppliers to retrofit its fleet with ADS-B Out-compliant airborne equipment. This selection is an active response to CAAC’s (Civil Aviation Administration of China) promotion of ADS-B technology. ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) technology is aiming at vastly improving air traffic efficiency and capacity. It enables air traffic controllers to get much improved situational awareness thanks to the real-time aircraft information provided by their internal GPS, with more accuracy than with the usual radar. In view of these benefits, CAAC has listed ADS-B as one of the new technologies to be promoted for improving flight safety and operational efficiency as well as on- GROUP COMMUNICATIONS – Thales - Tour Carpe Diem - 31 Place des Corolles - 92098 Paris La Défense Cedex - France – Tel.: +33(0)1 57 77 86 26 - www.thalesgroup.com PRESS RELEASE 19 May 2020 Beijing time performance.

  • 30 January 2015 • Volume 35, No. 1D Pacavi Begins First A320 P-To-F
    30 January 2015 • Volume 35, No. 1D The Air Freight and Express Industry Newsletter of Record • www.CargoFacts.com PacAvi begins first A320 P-to-F conversion. PacAvi Group inducted its first Airbus A320 aircraft (293, ex-Hermes Airlines) for conversion to freighter configuration at the HAITEC facility at Frankfurt Hahn Airport (HHN) [FAT 002081]. German-American aviation company PacAvi launched its A320 Family P-to-F con- version program in September last year, and with the first unit now entering conversion, says it expects final approval of its STC by FAA and EASA in 2016. (We note that this is a relatively short time frame for certification of a completely new passenger-to- freighter conversion program, even if everything goes smoothly.) Cargo Facts believes at least one customer has placed a firm order, and senior executives from PacAvi have confirmed that the company “will begin to announce customers shortly.” The A320 freighters are coming! PacAvi inducted an A320 for P-to-F conversion at the HAITEC facility at In related news, PacAvi this week announced an agreement Hahn. with Guangzhou Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Co., Ltd. (GAMECO), under which GAMECO will perform passenger-to-freighter conversions of A320 and A321 aircraft for PacAvi customers in the Asia-Pacific region.While all of the major conversion houses have partnerships with MROs in China (and elsewhere in Asia), The PacAvi/GAMECO partnership is interesting for a couple of additional reasons: • First, while GAMECO is not well known for doing conversions, it does have some history in that regard. It performed a number of 737-300 P-to-F conversions for Bedek Aviation Group (the conversion/MRO arm of Israel Aerospace Industries) several years ago.

  • Media Release
    Media Release Changi Airport welcomes the arrival of SF Airlines – the first Chinese express carrier to operate in Singapore SINGAPORE, 4 September 2018 – Changi Airport Group (CAG) today welcomed the arrival of SF Airlines’ inaugural flight from Shenzhen, China. SF Airlines is the first Chinese express airline to operate between Singapore and China, and its arrival strengthens air trade flows between the two countries. China is Changi Airport’s largest air cargo market, registering more than 270,000 tonnes of airfreight throughput (+8% year-on-year), for the 12 months ending June 2018. With the addition of SF Airlines’ weekly service1 on a Boeing 767F aircraft, main deck airfreight capacity to and from Shenzhen will increase by about 16% on this route2. The inaugural flight landed today at Changi Airport, and was welcomed by representatives from CAG and SF Airlines. Changi Airport Group’s Managing Director for Air Hub Development, Mr Lim Ching Kiat said, “We welcome SF Airlines to Changi Airport’s family of cargo airlines. Significantly, this allows for more cargo flows from China to and through Changi Airport, and will secure Singapore’s position as a premier regional cargo hub. “There is also growing demand by the Chinese market for perishables and pharmaceutical products from the Southwest Pacific and Southeast Asian regions; both are among the top cargo segments passing through Changi Airport from these regions to China, with a robust year-on-year growth. Singapore is a gateway for such flows between China and countries in the two regions. The added capacity by SF Airlines marks the start of expected growth of express flows on these routes.” 1 The weekly service will operate from 4 September to 27 October 2018.
