Panama-based Copa Airlines became the first operator of the 737-800BCF in Latin America after committing to two conversion slots with Boeing and beginning commercial operations in early 2022. The airline sourced feedstock from its own passenger fleet and ferried unit 33709 to the GAMECO facility in Guangzhou (CAN) in July 2021.
