Fleet (cont.)
• Martinair acquired four Boeing 747-400s from Singapore Airlines in 2006; these
passenger planes were renovated to freighters to replace the older Boeing 747-
200Fs.
• In 2009, three of the four 747s were put in storage because the air cargo business
was suffering significantly.
• While two of the 747-400s were rented to Air Cargo Germany in late 2010, the
remaining 747-400s resumed service in May 2011 with an untitled colour scheme
because Martinair has not decided if it will still operate the 747-400.
• The first McDonnell Douglas MD-11 was delivered in December 1994; six other
brand new MD-11s were given to Martinair during the subsequent three years.
• Martinair obtained four McDonnell Douglas MD-11CFs (Convertible Freighters, of
which Martinair was the launch customer) and two full freighters.
• Another MD-11F joined the fleet in 2004; Swissair formerly owned this one and
then converted it to full freighter.
• Some of the adaptable MD-11 were remodeled to transport passengers in the high
passenger peaks during the summer, from 1995-2006; the passenger restructuring
was filled with 390 seats.
