Ex-Shanghai Airlines MD-11F leased to undisclosed customer

US-based lessor GECAS leased an MD-11F (48415/576) ex-Shanghai Airlines B-2176 to an undisclosed customer, with the freighter now “in final prep for delivery”.

The US Federal Aviation Administration shows a pending registration change for the freighter to N415JN, which suggests the lessee could be Western Global Airlines.

Western Global, a startup controlled by long-time US cargo industry veteran Jim Neff, had originally planned to begin operating in 2013, with four MD-11Fs in the fleet by the end of that year. However, while it appears that it has acquired at least three MD‑11Fs, all three are currently in storage.
