SF acquired the aircraft in November 2017 through the first online auction of a freighter in China. The company bought two 747 freighters for a total price of approximately ¥320 million (US$459 million).

 

The first 747, which was previously operated by Chinese carrier Jade Cargo and has been parked since 2011, completed an eight-month-long process of maintenance to ensure its airworthiness.
