Share

Samaritan’s Purse (NSP) has introduced its first Boeing 767-300ERF into service, marking a major milestone for the humanitarian organization’s global relief operations. The freighter’s inaugural mission transported aid supplies from Greensboro Piedmont Triad International Airport to Tel Aviv Ben Gurion Airport, supporting families in Gaza, according to the organization’s statement.

The 19.7-year-old aircraft, registered N367SP (msn 33510), was acquired earlier this year from AFG Aviation Ireland, as reported by ch-aviation. Its first relief flight, conducted between October 25 and 27, included stops in Bangor, Glasgow Prestwick, and Larnaca before arriving in Israel.

The addition of the 767-300F expands Samaritan’s Purse’s ability to deliver emergency aid worldwide, offering increased range and cargo capacity compared to its older aircraft. The charity’s diverse fleet now includes a Boeing 757-200(PCF), the newly added 767-300F, and a DC-8-72(CF) scheduled for retirement.

With a growing lineup of fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters—including Gulfstream jets, Cessna Caravans, and Bell helicopters—Samaritan’s Purse continues to strengthen its global logistics network to respond quickly to disasters and humanitarian crises.
