Bluebird Nordic receives third Boeing 737-800 freighter

Bluebird Nordic has received its third Boeing 737-800 freighter aircraft.

The B737-800 is a part of the Icelandic cargo airline’s fleet renewal. The company began its expansion last year, adding additional aircraft to its fleet and is planning to add more in the upcoming several years. The airline says growing demand for cargo transport is one of the main reasons why Bluebird Nordic has been undergoing new development in its growth plan.

“So far, our and our customers’ experience operating the converted B737-800 is very positive,” said Audronė Keinytė, CEO of Bluebird Nordic. “The aircraft are ensuring reliable operations – with impressive range and payload for an aircraft of this size. We are expecting five more aircraft before the end of the year, which will take us to eight -800s in our fleet, in addition to our B737 classic fleet.”
