Description:
The Boeing 767 is a complete family of twin-engine aircraft suitable for medium and long range operations which can accommodate from 200 to 300 passengers as well as cargo in the 767 freighter variant. The first version, a 767-200, entered service in 1982 and its final delivery occurred in 1994. The 767 family has low fuel consumption and produces less pollutant per pound of fuel than other similar twin-engine aircraft.
The Boeing 767-300F freighter is a derivative of 767-300ER airliner with all the materials, aerodynamics and propulsion improvements introduced in this model. The -300F variant is equipped with a main deck cargo door that enables to load container and/or pallets on the main cargo deck using either a manual cargo handling system or powered transfer system. It lacks windows and doors excepting a lateral entry door for crewmembers.
The first Boeing 767-300F freighter was delivered by Boeing to United Parcel Service (UPS) in 1995.
On 2 August 2005, Chile-based LAN Airlines confirmed a firm order for six Boeing 767-300 airplanes to be added to another six 767s ordered in 2004. These 767s are a combination of 767-300ERs and 767-300Fs valued at $1.73 billion. The first of 12 aircraft was delivered in July 2005 and the final delivery is expected to be done by October 2008.
On 31 October 2005 Japanese carrier ANA confirmed an order for conversion of three Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft into Boeing Converted Freighters (BCFs). The agreement included options on four aircraft. ANA would take delivery of its converted aircraft between December 2007 through October 2008. The freighter conversion program is based on the Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
On 26 October 2006 Japanese carrier ANA exercised a contract option for two additional Boeing 767-300 Boeing Converted Freighters. The first airplane will enter into the conversion program in April 2007 and will come out by December.
