U.S. lessor BBAM has placed a firm order for six more Boeing 737-800 Converted Freighters (737-800BCFs), with options on a further six, increasing its commitment to 15 of the type.
Canada’s Conair Group, which describes itself as operating the world’s largest privately owned fixed-wing fleet of firefighting aircraft, has bought 11 De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 aircraft for conversion to firefighting aircraft.
Final year-end figures show just 157 Boeing airliners were delivered in 2020, compared to 380 in 2019—revealing the full impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the prolonged grounding of the 737 MAX on the company’s commercial business.
