AviaAM Leasing, a global aviation holding company engaged in tailored aircraft leasing and trading services, continues its complex Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) conversion project.
The ongoing P2F conversion project was the first of its kind for the company, with the first Boeing 737-800 for conversion acquired by AviaAM Leasing in March 2021. Now the company continues moving forward to its commitment of having 25 converted aircraft of different types in the upcoming four years.
Recently, the P2F conversion of the second B737-800 aircraft was completed by the Guangzhou Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Company (GAMECO) facility in Guangzhou, China. The aircraft was ferried to FL Technics Kaunas facilities for further maintenance and painting in the lessee’s corporate livery. The 737-800BCF (Boeing Converted Freighter) will join the fleet of Bluebird Nordic – a rapidly growing Iceland-based cargo airline, offering ACMI and full-service Cargo services.
The third B737-800 aircraft is being converted to freighter configuration by Boeing at the Taikoo (Shandong) Aircraft Engineering (STAECO) facility in Jinan (TNA), China with re-delivery expected by the end of December this year.
