This marks the airline's first cargo-dedicated aircraft, reinforcing its commitment to enhancing its cargo capabilities.
Notably, oman Air Cargo experienced a remarkable 42 per cent surge in cargo volume during the initial half of 2023 compared to the corresponding period in 2022.
This growth is attributed to expanding capacity within its passenger aircraft fleet.
Equipped with the capability to transport up to 23.9 tonnes of cargo over a range of 3,750 km, the 737-800BCF is poised to play a pivotal role in sustaining this upward trajectory in capacity expansion for Oman Air Cargo.
