BEIJING, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) -- The first 767-300 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) completed at the production line in China has been delivered, according to Boeing China.

Boeing and Guangzhou Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Co., Ltd. (GAMECO) jointly carried out the 767-300BCF project in south China's Guangzhou. The two sides will advance the production and delivery of more such converted freighters, according to Boeing China.
