Tokyo-based ANA (All Nippon Airways)
has exercised options for two more Boeing 767-300 Converted Freighters. Previously, ANA
launched the 767-300BCF program with a 2005 order for three conversions and four options.
In 2006, ANA exercised two of the options and
this agreement to exercise the last of the 2005 options brings the airline's firm order total to seven of the passenger-to-freighter
conversions.
The first of ANA's newly converted freighters is nearing completion at Singapore Technologies Aerospace (SASCO) and is expected to
make its first flight this month. After flight testing and certification, the redelivery of the first ANA 767-300BCF is planned for June at the SASCO
facility in Singapore.
"ANA is a forward-looking cargo operator in a strong market and we look forward to the 767-300BCF meeting the airline's needs for cargo
lift," said Dan da Silva, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Boeing Commercial Aviation Services. "With ANA's third 767-300BCF order
in four years, we couldn't ask for a better partner in introducing this freighter solution to the marketplace."
