IAI introduces Global Control Center system to streamline aircraft P2F programs.
The GCC system is poised to streamline the conversion process for each aircraft, optimize logistical processes, and enable targeted and horizontal management of errors or challenges.

IAI has unveiled its Global Control Center system to manage and monitor major projects, particularly international aircraft P2f programs conducted by IAI in Israel and globally being developed in-house and fully operational following extensive testing.

IAI, a world-class aerospace and defense company, has unveiled its Global Control Center (GCC) system designed to manage and monitor major projects, particularly international aircraft conversion programs conducted by IAI in Israel and globally. Developed in-house and fully operational following extensive testing by all levels of the organization, the GCC system promises to revolutionize the efficiency and transparency of IAI’s conversion programs.

The GCC system is poised to streamline the conversion process for each aircraft, optimize logistical processes, and enable targeted and horizontal management of errors or challenges. One of its key features is the ability to present real-time conversion progress to IAI’s customers, both existing and prospective, with an unprecedented level of detail and transparency. The system is managed from an advanced control and monitoring center located at IAI’s facility.

Boaz Levy, CEO, IAI said, “IAI is delighted to launch the GCC system and mark its entry into full use in the company’s aircraft conversion programs. This is indeed a defining moment that fulfills the goals I set when I began my tenure as CEO of IAI to both increase profitability and   improve efficiency and transparency for our customers. We expect the system will have a great impact on our activities, both internally and externally, first in the aviation sector and then in other IAI activities.”

The global market for passenger-to-freighter conversions has witnessed substantial growth in recent years, driven by increasing demand for air freight. Data from 2023 indicates a 15% surge in demand compared to 2022, with projections suggesting continued growth in the years ahead. Leveraging over 40 years of experience in aircraft conversion, IAI stands out as a leading player in the field, offering innovative solutions for converting a wide range of passenger aircraft, including the Boeing 737 and 767 series, as well as the 777-300 and Airbus A330 aircraft, which are currently undergoing licensing processes.

Shmuel Kuzi, VP and GM of Aviation GroupIAI said, “This innovative system will optimize IAI’s conversion programs in an unprecedented way while providing full transparency to the company’s customers. Now fully operational, we anticipate a reduction in the working time on each aircraft and to improve the response to our customers while allowing new customers to share in the success and enjoy IAI’s converted freighters.”

IAI’s dominance in the aerospace industry is underscored by its impressive customer base, which includes industry giants such as Amazon, DHL, Etihad Cargo, Air Transport Services Group, and many others. With its proven track record and commitment to innovation, IAI is well-positioned to continue driving advancements in aircraft conversion technologies and maintaining its leadership in the global aerospace market.
