Gameco's first B737-800BCF completed
The Chinese MRO services provider Gameco has announced the completion of the first 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) at its Guangzhou facility. The conversion was completed on 15 October 2020 and comes roughly four months after Gameco launched its BCF conversion programme in June.
Peter Gao, vice president, commercial sales and marketing for Boeing China: "Successfully completing the first 737-800BCF conversion ahead of schedule, under difficult circumstances, showcases the high level of quality and support Gameco brings to this important programme."
The B737-800BCF programme was launched in 2016. Since first entering into service in 2018, Boeing has delivered 40 units, which are operated by ten customers. Once converted, the B737-800BCF carries up to 23.9 t of payload. (ah)
