Aircraft leasing company BBAM Limited Partnership (BBAM) and Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW), a joint venture of
ST Engineering and Airbus, have signed an agreement for Airbus A320/A321 passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversions including options. The new orders by BBAM bring the total number of its A320/A321P2F conversions to 20, with the conversions to be carried out by EFW through 2025. The agreement comes with the option to add new conversion slots every year starting in 2026.
“With this latest order, BBAM is now the largest aircraft lessor for the A320/A321P2F program, and one of the top P2F customers of EFW,” said Andreas Sperl, Chief Executive Officer of EFW. “The order volume by BBAM translates into a full conversion line with a minimum of five slots per year, with many of the conversions to be carried out at the airframe facility of our parent company, ST Engineering, in the U.S. When combined with top-notch conversion standards, our A321P2F solution offers unique benefits for air freight activities, including best-in-class economics, reduced noise, lower carbon footprint, real-time health monitoring and the highest level in reliability.”
