AviaAM Leasing has boosted its Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) conversion project, begun in March 2021, acquiring one more Boeing 737-800.
AviaAM Leasing’s Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) conversion project involves the conversion of 25 aircraft of different types in the upcoming four years.
The aircraft was already ferried to the Taikoo (Shandong) Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (STAECO) facility in Jinan (TNA), China where in the upcoming four months it will undergo passenger-to-freighter conversion works provided by Boeing.
Tadas Goberis, the CEO and Chairman at AviaAM Leasing, commented on the project: “I believe that the already booming cargo market still has a lot of potential for development, therefore our Passenger-to-Freighter conversion project is an exciting and promising opportunity for AviaAM Leasing. While such an undertaking is requiring intricate planning and complex solutions, I trust that it will aid in our efforts to expand our presence in the air cargo market, further strengthening our position as a reliable and world-class leasing and trading services provider.”
This is the fourth Boeing 737-800 inducted to cargo conversion, with the first two already delivered to the lessee and operated by Bluebird Nordic, and one more soon to be delivered for operations.
