AerCap has delivered the first of three Boeing 777-300ERSF converted aircraft to Hong Kong–based aviation leasing and ACMI/CMI provider Fly Meta Leasing (Fly Meta). The aircraft was handed over on November 21, with the remaining two due in Q2 and Q4 2026.
The aircraft will operate under a Crew Maintenance and Insurance (CMI) contract with Air Atlanta Icelandic, flying under the Hungary Air brand. The Boeing 777-300ERSF, known as The Big Twin, is the first passenger-to-freighter conversion of the 777-300ER. It secured FAA and CAAI certification on August 31, 2025 and entered service in mid-September.
“We are proud to receive our first Boeing 777-300ERSF, a major step in Fly Meta’s long-term wide-body freighter strategy,” said Helen Chen, CEO of Fly Meta. “This aircraft will enhance our cargo corridor and widen our reach in global e-commerce, express and specialty freight. Working with AerCap, Air Atlanta Icelandic and Hungary Airlines, we are shaping a modern, efficient and scalable wide-body freighter platform built around the 777-300ERSF, 747-400F and upcoming additions. We look forward to adding more capacity in 2026 to meet fast-rising demand across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.”
Founded in 2022 by industry veterans with deep cargo and leasing expertise, Fly Meta is headquartered in Hong Kong with an office in Beijing. The company offers integrated ACMI, CMI and charter solutions to airlines, logistics firms and e-commerce partners worldwide.
Through strategic cooperation with Air Atlanta Icelandic and Hungary Airlines, and an expanding fleet that includes the 747-400F, 777-300ERSF and A330-200F, Fly Meta is building high-efficiency long-haul cargo networks across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and North America.
