STAECO, which is the largest conversion site for Boeing’s 737-800BCF program, converted its 100th 737-800BCF in the first quarter of 2024.

The 2006-vintage unit 35047 (ex-Xiamen Airlines) entered service with China Postal Airlines in March 2024 after Boeing redelivered the aircraft to the carrier in February.

Unit 35047 was one of the first 737-800s to be converted at STAECO’s new facility when the MRO transferred its seven 737-800BCF lines in early 2024.

STAECO began converting the Boeing next-generation freighter in 2018 and completed seventy conversions of the type in February 2023.
