Making mammoths fly
Founded in December 2020, Mammoth Freighters has now started its B777-200LR and B777-300ER passenger-to-freighter conversion programmes.
The combination of management expertise - two experienced aviation industry executives, Bill Wagner and Bill Tarpley, are both serving as the company’s Co-CEOs - and financial support - the Orlando-based company is backed by private investment funds managed by Fortress Investment Group - have enabled the launch of its STC development programme with the plan to achieve FAA approval in the second half of 2023.
Tarpley: "With our modern design and existing feedstock of ten aircraft, we will provide express, e-commerce and general freight operators with highly affordable, flexible, and purpose-built B777F that burn less fuel and emit less carbon than the current freighter fleets." (ah)
