The new aircraft, re-registered with the Civil Aviation Authority of the
Philippines as RP-C4753, is specifically a Boeing 737-2Q8C(A) variant and is
now roughly 41 years old.
According to data from Planespotters.net, International Trans Air Business
(ITAB) was the plane's previous operator since 2013; however, it started
service with FedEx in October 1979.
SEAir confirmed their acquisition of the 737 on their official Facebook page.
RP-C4753 arrived in Clark, Pampanga this week. The aircraft will be joined by
SEAir's pioneer 737 freighter it acquired in 2011, RP-C4737.
