Big commitment for widebody conversions


Air Transport Services Group (ATSG), a US lessor of freighter aircraft, has committed to a total of 29 A330 passenger-to-freighter conversion slots with Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW), German centre of excellence for Airbus freighter conversions and a joint venture between Singapore's ST Engineering and Airbus.

Mike Berger (right, together with Wolfgang Schmid, EFW VP sales & marketing, and Rich Corrado, ATSG president & CEO): "The A330-300P2F conversion is a natural next step for ATSG, as it is an excellent complement to the Boeing 767-300 medium wide-body freighter, which has long been the freighter of choice for the e-commerce air cargo market."

 

To meet the rising demand for freighter conversions, ST Engineering and EFW are setting up new conversion sites in China and USA this year and ramping up conversion capacity for all their Airbus P2F programmes to about 60 slots per year by 2024. (ah)
