Boeing wins Icelease order for up to three 767-300BCF conversions

· Aviation · Iceland · Singapore

Boeing has won an order from Iceland-based lessor Icelease for up to three 767-300 Boeing Converted Freighters, with conversion work to take place in Singapore, AeroTime reported. The 767-300BCF is a passenger-to-freighter conversion aimed at the medium-widebody cargo market. The deal adds to demand for converted freighters as lessors build cargo portfolios, and it keeps conversion work flowing to Boeing's Singapore facility. Terms and delivery timing were not disclosed in the report. The order is small in unit terms but relevant to the freighter conversion market, where Boeing competes for cargo capacity demand from express carriers and lessors.

Why it matters：Converted freighters are how lessors add cargo capacity without waiting years for new-builds, so conversion orders signal where medium-widebody air cargo demand is heading.

Key points

  • The order covers up to three 767-300BCF aircraft.
  • Conversion will be carried out in Singapore.
  • Terms and delivery dates were not disclosed.
