Ducommun Lands New Work for 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter Program
August 07 2017 - 7:00AM
Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE:DCO) (“Ducommun” or the “Company”) has
begun work to manufacture aluminum aircraft structures for the
Next-Generation 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) program.
Ducommun is manufacturing fuselage skins that frame the cargo door
of the converted aircraft at the Company’s operations in Gardena
and Orange, Calif., through 2021.
“Ducommun has the people, expertise and
longstanding commitment required to produce reliable aluminum
structures for Boeing’s Next-Generation 737 converted freighters,”
said Stephen G. Oswald, president and chief executive officer,
Ducommun. “We’re here to support the Boeing team as they meet the
growing demand for freighters worldwide, particularly in the
Chinese market. This is an outstanding opportunity for our company,
and we anticipate additional orders on this program in the years to
come.”
According to Boeing, the first 737-800BCF is
expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2017. Ideal for
shipping express cargo on domestic routes, the 737-800BCF offers
operators increased payload, higher reliability and superior
efficiency over previous-generation standard-body freighters.
