Boeing will open three new freighter conversion lines to meet soaring global demand for standard-body cargo haulers.
Boeing (Stand 1200) has taken an order from Icelease for eleven 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighters. With more than 200 orders and commitments from 19 customers, Boeing will open three new freighter conversion lines to accommodate demand. The first line will open in 2022 at Boeing’s London Gatwick MRO facility, and two conversion lines will open in 2023 at KF Aerospace MRO in Kelowna, Canada.
“Building a diverse and global network of conversion facilities is critical to supporting our customers’ growth and meeting regional demand,” said Jens Steinhagen, director of Boeing Converted Freighters. “KF Aerospace and our Boeing teammates in London Gatwick have the infrastructure, capabilities, and expertise required.”
