The first Boeing 737F from Total Cargo's fleet arrived yesterday (1st/06) at São José dos Campos Airport, in the interior of São Paulo. In the next few days, the aircraft will undergo an adaptation to enter into operation, as well as receive the painting of the new company.
The entire aircraft adaptation and painting service will be carried out at Digex facilities, in São José dos Campos. The plane has already been nationalized in Confins, where it landed on May 26th.
Previously this plane flew under the registration SP-LLG on the Polish airline LOT Polish. LOT was also the same company to operate this aircraft, which was manufactured in 1997.

In Brazil, this plane will operate with the registration PS-TLA, and is considered an indication of the replacement of the company's Boeing 727F.
The aircraft is the newest addition to the Brazilian cargo fleet. In addition to Total, the blue one, Sideral and Modern already use the 737F on cargo flights in Brazil.
Total recently took the opportunity to carry out a systems update on the company's old Boeing 727s, which may indicate the continuity of this aircraft model in the fleet.
Speaking of the fleet, Total intends to acquire two more ATRs, this time the 72-500 version, according to an interview by the president of Total Linhas Aéreas, Alfredo Mesiter, for the Solange's Black Box Blog.
