Press Release Summary: Singapore Technologies Aerospace Ltd (ST Aerospace), Boeing [NYSE: BA] and All Nippon Airways (ANA) celebrated the completion and certification of the first 767-300 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) at a redelivery ceremony held in Singapore today.
Press Release Body: Boeing launched the 767-300BCF PASSENGER-TO-FREIGHTER CONVERSION (PTF) programme in 2005 with three firm orders and four options from ANA. Since then, ANA has exercised all the options, and now has ordered seven PTF conversions in all.
“We are delighted to take delivery of the first 767-300BCF. It will be a key aircraft in the expansion of our cargo operation and express delivery services to countries neighbouring Japan. The 767 has long been the work-horse of the ANA passenger fleet; it is very gratifying to see an old friend work beyond retirement, and in doing so contribute to the environment in terms of saving and reusing resources. We thank Boeing for their design and SASCO for their work in carrying out the conversion.\" Shinsuke MAKI, Senior Vice President, Engineering & Maintenance, ANA
\"Boeing employees and ST Aerospace worked as true partners to complete this well-designed and expertly managed conversion. We do everything possible to help customers increase the environmental and operational efficiencies throughout the entire lifespan of their airplanes.\"
