AviaAM Leasing Service Centre (AviaAM Leasing), part of the global aviation services provider Avia Solutions Group, is approaching the final phase of a landmark project – converting a Boeing 777-300ER passenger aircraft into a freighter (P2F). This milestone is being achieved in collaboration with Mammoth Freighters LLC, a US-based specialist in Boeing 777 P2F conversions. The transformation is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
This project marks a first for the aviation industry, as it involves the prototype conversion of the Boeing 777-300ER model. According to Jonas Janukėnas, CEO of Avia Solutions Group, this achievement underscores the company’s role in meeting growing global air freight demand. Boeing projects that over 2,600 freighters will be required worldwide over the next 20 years, with P2F conversions playing a vital role in fulfilling this need.
The B777-300ER, originally designed to carry nearly 400 passengers, will be capable of transporting up to 98 tonnes of cargo over 5,000 nautical miles post-conversion. It will offer a generous cargo volume of 819 cubic metres, well-suited for long-haul and transatlantic routes.
AviaAM Leasing is a major player in commercial aircraft leasing, trading and fleet management, with over 150 aircraft transactions and more than 50 conversions and refurbishments to date. The firm is ranked among the top 50 in the global aircraft leasing industry.
