Boeing and Air Algérie signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for two 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighters (BCFs) to meet increasing cargo demand in the region. Boeing and Air Algérie also confirmed an order for eight 737-9 jets at the Paris Air Show, says an official release from Boeing. "The 737-800BCF carries more payload (up to 23.9 tonnes) and offers more range (2,025 nautical miles) than previous standard-body freighters.
