Nauru Airlines introduces 737-800 converted freighter

Nauru Airlines has an operational base in Brisbane.

It states that the 737-800F will expand its cargo capabilities, adding capacity to a fleet which already includes a pair of 737-300 freighters alongside its passenger aircraft.

The airline’s chairman, Kieren Keke, says it enables the carrier to ensure that it “can service the needs of Nauru and the central Pacific”, along with its Australian customers.

Nauru Airlines unveiled the freighter, which has a payload capability of 23.9t, at an event on 5 August.
