BBN Airlines Adds First A321-200P2F Freight Aircraft to Its Fleet

BBN Airlines has taken delivery of its first A321-200(P2F) on June 17, 2023, and is gearing up to put it into revenue service soon.

The aircraft with registration VP-CTN (msn 2005) underwent conversion at Singapore Seletar before being ferried to Istanbul Atatürk via Chennai and Dubai World Central. It will now undergo final pre-induction maintenance.

As a Turkish ACMI/charter specialist, BBN Airlines launched earlier this year with a fleet of four passenger A321-200s, wet-leasing two each to fellow Turkish charter specialists Freebird Airlines and Tailwind Airlines. The airline’s strategic plan involved a focus on the passenger market initially and later expansion into the cargo sector. BBN Airlines (Türkiye) is affiliated with Bluebird Nordic – which will soon be rebranded as BBN Airlines Nordic – itself a subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group.
