Boeing has received a contract from All Nippon Airways of Japan for the conversion of one 747-200 to full-freighter configuration - the second of the airline's 747s to be modified. The aircraft will be delivered to Wichita in April 1997 for the conversion work, and is scheduled to be handed back in July for operation by Nippon Cargo Airlines. Air France, meanwhile, is to modify its fleet of seven 747-200 Combis. Six aircraft will be configured to full passenger-layout, while one will become a full freighter.
