Vallair, the aircraft trading, leasing and specialist MRO organisation, has completed the acquisition of six Airbus A321-200 aircraft (MSN891, MSN677, MSN827, MSN835, MSN968 and MSN974). These aircraft will be attributed to short term lease programs within Vallair’s current portfolio and will serve as initial feedstock for the Company’s launch of the Airbus A321-200 P2F program.
Vallair was recently announced as the launch customer of the A321-200 P2F with EFW/STA cargo program in addition to an earlier launch announcement with A321 Precision in October 2017.
The A321 & A320 P2F conversion programs, launched in 2015, are a collaboration between ST Aerospace, Airbus and EFW (Elbe Flugzeugwerke). ST Aerospace is responsible for the engineering development phase, up to the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Airbus contributes to the program with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) data and certification support, while EFW leads the overall program and marketing & sales.
