EFW registers its first A321P2F in South America
Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW), a centre of excellence for Airbus passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversions and a joint venture by ST Engineering and Airbus, has received the validation of its supplement type certification (V-STC) for its A321 P2F conversion programme by Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac).
This achievement was accompanied by the re-delivery of an A321P2F aircraft to EFW’s customer Aercap for leasing to Azul Cargo, which is to add another A321P2F to its air cargo fleet by the end of this year.
Jordi Boto, CEO of EFW: "The validated STC, in addition to our first-ever A321P2F to be operated in South America by Azul Cargo, marks a major milestone that augments the global presence of our Airbus converted freighters."
With the V-STC from Anac, EFW’s conversion programmes are now validated by major aviation authorities from all continents. (ah)
