BOEING opens freight lines across North America, Europe

Boeing announced the addition of three conversion lines for 737-800BCF across North America and Europe. The company signed a firm order with Icelease for 11 of the freighters as the launch customer. In 2022, it will open one conversion line at Boeing’s London Gatwick Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul facility, modifying 737 to 800 aircraft into Boeing Converted Freighters and increasing its footprint in the Crawley area, and two conversion lines in 2023 at KF Aerospace MRO in Kelowna, Canada. “This new work for London Gatwick is due to cargo demand,” says Sir Martin Donnelly, president, Boeing Europe and Boeing, UK and Ireland, MD.
