February 9, 2018: SF Airlines saw the arrival of the 20th
B757-200 freighter at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, which was the
first new aircraft introduced by SF Airlines in 2018. Up to now, SF Airlines
has grown its fleet size to 42 aircrafts consisting of B737, B757 and B767
models.

Since its maiden flight in 2009, SF Airlines has maintained
a steady pace of growth in the number of freighters. In 2017, in addition to
the number of freighters exceeding 40, SF Airlines also made a breakthrough in
the types of aircrafts as part of its fleet planning in 2018 by purchasing two
B747-400 freighters through online auction. With the arrival of the first new
aircraft in 2018, SF Airlines has grown the number of B757-200 freighters to
20, making them an absolute main force in the fleet operation. This further
consolidates the aircraft configuration of the fleet that focuses on short and
medium range operation while undertaking long-range missions. It also
symbolizes an official start of transportation capacity expansion in the New Year,
and will support the highly efficient operation of SF Airlines' logistics
network at full blast.

Affiliated to SF Express, SF Airlines is the key to assure
SF’s core competitiveness in express delivery business and acts as a strong
brand extension of SF Express. Through years of dedicated operation and forward-looking
strategic layout, SF Express has formed an integrated logistics service network
at home and abroad that is characterized by integration of “air network +
ground network + information network”. SF Airlines is a core power that
supports the air network in playing its roles in the whole network. In future,
SF Airlines will steadily introduce new aircrafts and expand its air network
layout based on the company's business development and gradually improve the
air route operation capability for the purpose of becoming the most
trust-worthy air partner of customers.
