Boeing delivers its milestone 100th converted freighter to China's SF Airlines

Boeing has reached a significant milestone in its passenger-to-freighter conversion program, delivering its 100th converted Boeing 767-300 freighter to SF Airlines. The announcement was made by Boeing Global Services, highlighting the successful transformation of older aircraft into cargo carriers. This particular aircraft was unveiled at Guangzhou Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Company Limited (GAMECO) on February 14.

Doug Backhus, Vice President of Cabin, Modifications and Maintenance at Boeing, stated: "Celebrating the 100th completed 767-300BCF with SF Airlines and GAMECO is a testament to the strong collaboration that goes into designing, converting and operating these versatile freighters. The 767-300BCF will continue to play a vital role in the air cargo sector for decades to come, providing operators with the reliability and performance they need to be successful."

The newly converted freighter features a special emblem marking it as the 100th conversion. According to Boeing, the 767-300BCF offers efficiency as a medium widebody twin-engine converted freighter due to its low operating costs per trip and substantial range and payload capacity.
