AviaAM Leasing, a global aviation holding company engaged in tailored aircraft leasing and trading services, has announced a purchase of two more Boeing 737-800 aircraft for Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) conversions.

The aircraft, bearing Manufacturer Serial Numbers (MSN) 29769 and 28225, are the fifth and sixth, respectively, Boeing 737-800s inducted for cargo conversions. The previous three already were delivered to the lessee previously and the fourth is scheduled to be delivered in late January 2023.

They have been successfully operated by BlueBird Nordic, a rapidly growing Iceland-based cargo airline, offering ACMI and full-service cargo services.

“We continue to execute our plan related to Boeing 737-800BCF conversion program and thus support our group’s cargo airlines with more efficient cargo aircraft,” said Tadas Goberis, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chairman of AviaAM Leasing. “Each conversion project we undertake requires detailed planning and complex solutions, thus we are proud to continue this project, this way strengthening our presence in the air cargo market as a reliable leasing and trading service provider.”

The two aircraft have already been inducted for P2F conversions at the Taikoo (Shandong) Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (STAECO) facility in Jinan (TNA), China.

The company expects the P2F conversions to be completed by Q2 2023.
