Guangzhou Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Company (GAMECO) and Boeing have announced plans to launch a 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter production line at GAMECO’s Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport hangar, as the 737-800BCF program responds to growing demand.
Boeing’s newest freighter has achieved 130 orders and commitments since it was launched in 2016. The program is on pace to deliver 17 737-800BCFs in 2019, more than doubling last year’s output.
Alvey Pratt, Boeing Global Services’ director, Boeing Converted Freighters, said, “This partnership is great news for our customers. GAMECO is a world-class MRO provider with the proven ability to complete complex modifications on schedule, with the highest quality.”
