Redelivery of IAI's first P2F B737-700 freighter
Israel Aerospace Industry (IAI) Aviation Group has delivered the first passenger-to-freight (P2F) converted B737-700 to Tianjin Cargo Airlines, which will become the first operator of this type of aircraft in China.
The conversion work was carried out at the Tianjin MRO site, under a partnership agreement with IAI and Haite Group for developing the B737-700 and -800STC. The two companies have been working together since 2017, to meet the increasing demand for cargo aircraft in China and around the world.
IAI’s EVP and GM of Aviation Group, Yossi Melamed: "IAI’s Aviation Group has been one of the top players in the passenger-to-cargo aircraft conversion market for 40 years. The delivery of the first new generation B737-700 to a Chinese operator is a significant milestone in our relationship with the Haite Group." (ah)
