Under the guidance of Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court, SF Airlines successfully bought two freighters registered respectively as B-2422 and B-2423 on Alibaba's auction platform on November 21, 2017, and subsequently settled all payments in less than one month. This represents a successful participation in the first juridical practice of online freighter auction. Meanwhile, the introduction of a new aircraft type will add more fuel to the development of SF Airlines' freighter fleet consisting of B-767, B-757 and B-737, further consummate the air route network at home and abroad, and eventually accelerate the intensive development of S.F.
