World Star Aviation has delivered the second of two additional Boeing 737-800BCF freighters to West Atlantic, completing a pair of aircraft placements with the cargo operator.
The first aircraft, a 2001-built Boeing 737-800BCF previously operated by AirExplore, completed conversion at the Joramco facility in Amman, Jordan. It departed on December 15, 2025, and arrived the same day at East Midlands Airport in the UK, where it was registered for West Atlantic’s operations. This delivery brought the total number of WSA-placed aircraft with West Atlantic to five.
The second freighter’s delivery follows this initial handover, supporting West Atlantic’s cargo network across the UK and Europe. Both aircraft are expected to enter service soon, offering operational flexibility for regional and medium-haul routes. Converted from passenger jets, these narrowbody freighters handle varied cargo types efficiently at lower costs than new-build models.
World Star Aviation plans further 737-800 conversions in 2026 to address rising demand for mid-size cargo capacity.
