ANA yesterday took delivery of its first 767-300 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) - the prototype conversion of a 767-300 passenger aircraft into a freighter - at a ceremony in the hangar of SASCO in Singapore, the company chosen by Boeing to carry out the conversion. The newly converted freighter will join ANA's existing fleet of four 767-300 freighters (six including two leased on ACMI contract from ABX of the USA) when it flies from Tokyo's Haneda Airport to Shanghai via Osaka Kansai on its late-night maiden run on July 1. It will be operated by the joint-venture company created by ANA and Japan Post, ANA & JP Express, on late-night domestic cargo flights and on routes between Japan and other Asian countries, primarily China.
