MNG Technic begins passenger-to-freighter conversion

9 years after the first C-check MNG Technic undertakes another major task to improve its capability and be a leader in the Turkish civil aviation sector. MNG Technic will convert three Airbus A300-600 passenger aircraft into freighter configuration belonging to MNG Airlines. The conversion of the first aircraft has began on September 19th and will be performed by MNG Technic at the MNG Technic’s Istanbul MRO facility, using a purchased STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) and conversion kit. Conversion will require the removal of all passenger equipment, major structural reinforcements to the aircraft floor and fuselage and the installation of an electrically powered main deck large freighter door. The converted freighter aircraft will be capable of transporting a payload of up to 52 tons.
