Boeing and Korean Air announced completion and certification of Korean Air’s 747-400 Boeing Converted Freighter.

SEATTLE – For this modification, Boeing managed every aspect of the conversion process from contract signing, design and production through redelivery. Boeing contracted with Taikoo (

Xiamen) Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. (TAECO) in Xiamen, China, for the hands-on modification work. This is the fourth 747-400 Boeing Converted Freighter that has been redelivered through Boeing to cargo operators.

On Aug. 4, workers at Korean Air’s Aerospace Division in Pusan Korea began modifying a 747-400 passenger airplane. For this and follow-on conversions, Korean Air’s Aerospace Division receives a „freighter kit“ from Boeing, and will use the kit to convert and certify a combination of its own and other airlines’ 747-400 passenger airplanes into freighters.

Korean Air has six firm freighter kits remaining on order with options for 13 more kits.
