Boeing [NYSE: BA] and BBAM Limited Partnership (BBAM) on Tuesday announced the lessor is growing its 737–800 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) fleet with a firm order for nine more 737–800BCF. The agreement brings BBAM’s 737–800BCF orders to 40 as strong demand for the single-aisle freighter continues.
BBAM will be the first customer to take delivery of a 737–800BCF conversion at a new conversion line set to open next year at KF Aerospace, a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) provider in Kelowna, British Columbia. Last year, Boeing announced it would open two 737–800BCF conversion lines at KF Aerospace beginning in 2023.
“We continue to extend the life of the 737–800s in our fleet and support strong demand from our customers by further growing our 737–800BCF order book,” said John Lynch, Senior Vice President, Head of Freighter Programs at BBAM. “By taking conversion slots at KF Aerospace in Canada, we are delighted to leverage Boeing’s global network of conversion lines to offer our customers convenience and flexibility by being where they need us to be.”
