The already booming cargo market still has a lot of potential for development, therefore Passenger-to-Freighter conversion project is an exciting and promising opportunity.
AviaAM Leasing recently acquired an additional Boeing 737-800 for its Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) conversion project. They began this project in March 2021, and have successfully expanded their list of assets since then. This latest acquisition will take AviaAM one step closer to its commitment of having 25 converted aircraft of different types in the upcoming four years.
Tadas Goberis, the CEO and Chairman at AviaAM Leasing said, “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 requires 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.”
The aircraft is ferried to Taikoo (Shandong) Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (STAECO) facility in Jinan (TNA), China where it will undergo the conversion work in the next four months.
This is the fourth Boeing 737-800 inducted for cargo conversion, with the first two already delivered to the lessee and successfully operated by Bluebird Nordic, and one more soon to be delivered for operations.
