ASL Aviation Holdings has exercised 10 options it already had for B737-800(BCF)s taking its total orders up to 21 now. (These could be more ex Ryanair frames ?)
+++++++++
Quote - "ASL Aviation Holdings has firmed options for ten B737-800(BCF)s, increasing its total order for the converted freighters to 21 aircraft.
The Irish holding placed an initial order for ten B737-800(BCF)s with options for ten more in 2019. On top of this recent firm order, it also ordered another one aircraft in the meanwhile.
"The performance and reliability of the B737-800BCF make it the perfect fit for our combined fleet renewal and growth programmes and so we have moved to confirm our 10 options earlier than planned", Chief Executive Dave Andrew said.
The holding said that the newly ordered aircraft will be operated by its in-house carriers: - ASL Airlines Ireland, ASL Airlines Belgium, and ASL Airlines France."

Do we really need special thread? ca350 created one for Amazon Prime B737-800 BCFs, so if ASL are going to be a big operator I though it was needed ?

Another option would be combine all the 737-800 BCF, or even 737-800SF and 737-800BDSFs into a single 737NG conversion thread like what we did with A320 family conversion thread, which would be easy to track all the updates and movements regarding the NG conversions. But I'm ok with where we are currently as well.

I think a single thread is easy

I think a single thread is easy ca350 you could create a Sub Board under B737s for B737-800 BCFs then have threads for ASL and Amazon Prime .......... etc under that ?

stealthmanbob I don't honestly think the 737 conversion topic requires a sub board (we have few of them anyways, mostly in A380 and A350 boards). FabienA380 thoughts?

I don't mind either way, I do think ASL B737-800 BCFs deserve a thread at least within the B737 thread ? They will probably end up with more frames than some MAX customers !

I don't mind having separate threads neither in fact, see we have one for each MAX operator already, so it doesn't really make any difference, else than focus on ASL, and I think there is nothing wrong with that (A sub would be then indeed too much of it, I think we can leave it as it is now).
