Boeing has delivered its 100th 767-300BCF Converted Freighter to the world’s largest operator of the aircraft type, SF Airlines, marking a significant milestone in the project’s 17-year history.
Boeing confirmed on February 20, 2025, that, to mark the occasion, a special ceremony was held on Valentine’s Day at the Guangzhou Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Company (GAMECO) Phase III Hangar in China.
“Celebrating the 100th completed 767-300BCF with SF Airlines and GAMECO is a testament to the strong collaboration that goes into designing, converting and operating these versatile freighters,” said Doug Backhus, Boeing Vice President Cabin, Modifications and Maintenance.
He added: “The 767-300BCF will continue to play a vital role in the air cargo sector for decades to come, providing operators with the reliability and performance they need to be successful.”
GAMECO and Boeing first began working together in 2020 on a 737-800 passenger-to-freighter conversion.
“We are delighted to be part of the Boeing Converted Freighter program both for the 767-300BCF and 737-800BCF models and to support the impressive growth of SF Airlines,” said Dr. Marc Szepan, General Manager of GAMECO. “Having the opportunity to celebrate completion of the 100th 767-300BCF conversion is a particular honor for the entire GAMECO team.”
Based at Shenzhen Bao’an International (SZX), SF Airlines operates 19 767-300BCFs and 77 air cargo planes in total, according to ch-aviation.
Following the ceremony, the airline said that the 767-300BCF had played a “crucial role” in the company’s development since joining the fleet in 2016.
“This model has become the backbone of our network operation due to its excellent performance,” said Li Gang, Vice President of Maintenance of SF Airlines. “Whether on busy domestic routes or challenging international routes, the 767-300BCF has demonstrated high reliability and stability, helping SF Airlines continuously expand its business landscape.”
According to Boeing, the 767-300BCF is the world’s most efficient medium wide-body twin engine converted freighter, carrying up to 56.5 tons (124,600 pounds) and flying up to 3,345 nautical miles (6,190 kilometers).
