Initially, USC’s A340s delivered by Avensis Aviation will be used for passenger (ACMI) service, but they will undergo the full-size Cargo door conversion as soon as possible.
Avensis Aviation, a leading provider of passenger-to-freighter (PTF) conversion solutions, has announced USC GmbH as the launch customer for its NAVIS PTF main deck cargo door conversion. USC, a new German airline set to commence operations this summer, will utilize Avensis’ conversion solution on its Airbus A340-300 and A340-600 aircraft.
Initially, USC’s A340s will be used for passenger (ACMI) service, but they will undergo the full-size Cargo door conversion as soon as possible. Avensis’ NAVIS PTF conversion stands out for its industry-first “plug-type” main deck cargo door, along with features like a separated crew cabin section, a 9G rigid cargo barrier, a full Class E cargo compartment, and a main deck cargo loading system. The conversion offers reduced downtime and enables more flexible, faster, and cost-effective operations.
Cristian Sutter, CEO of Avensis Aviation said, “NAVIS is our flagship PTF conversion aimed at lessors and established cargo airlines that demand a permanent, innovative, and cost-effective PTF solution. The innovative ‘plug-type’ main deck cargo door is fully electrically operated, lightweight, and safer due to its locking mechanism design. “We are thrilled to announce USC as the launch customer for our NAVIS PTF conversion. The Airbus A340 provides a competitive aircraft freighter platform for the express market by offering payload, volume and performance advantages, particularly for ultra long haul routes such as Asia and other far flown cargo hubs.”
Avensis is delighted to have USC as the launch customer for the NAVIS PTF conversion. The Airbus A340 aircraft provides a competitive freighter platform for the express market, offering advantages in payload, volume, and performance, especially on ultra-long-haul routes to destinations such as Asia and other far-flung cargo hubs.
Demonstrating the scalability of Avensis’ portfolio, USC’s A340s will undergo conversion to a CLASS E freighter using Avensis’ MEDIUS PTF solution as an interim option. This allows USC to generate revenue from cargo flights while the elements of the NAVIS conversion are being implemented. Avensis is the sole provider of PTF cargo solutions offering both CLASS E PTF conversion products for the Airbus A340 aircraft.
Avensis Aviation’s comprehensive portfolio of scalable conversion programs has revolutionized the PTF market, challenging traditional industry concepts with its award-winning PTF conversion products such as MEDIUS (reversible Class E without door), MEDIUS ELEV (Class E with dual-lifts), and NAVIS (Class E with main deck cargo door). These solutions are designed and delivered to maximize the utilization of aircraft fleets.
