Global logistics group DHL Express and US aerospace group Boeing jointly announced on Wednesday that the former had ordered four 767-300BCF air cargo aircraft from the latter. The suffix -BCF stood for Boeing Converted Freighter and indicated that the aircraft would be converted from standard airliners. DHL Express already operated Boeing 767-300F aircraft, which were built specifically as freighters (hence the -F suffix). DHL’s fleet numbered more than 250 aircraft. This new order was part of the modernisation programme for group’s long-haul intercontinental fleet.
