Aug 24, 2007 (newstodate): Aeroflot Cargo is relying on the Boeing Converted Freighter program to convert its ex-Finnair MD-11F aircraft into freighters.
Modification work will begin in November 2008.
Boeing Commercial Aviation Services will provide detailed engineering design work and oversight of the Aeroflot Cargo conversions, with SASCO, a subsidiary of Singapore Technologies Aerospace, providing touch labor on the aircraft.
In addition to these two ex-Finnair MD-11 aircraft, Aeroflot Cargo has committed to lease three more MD-11 Boeing Converted Freighters from the Boeing Capital Corporation within the 2007-2008 timeframe.
Delivery of the Boeing freighters has, however, been delayed.
The first aircraft should have been delivered by June this year but has still not arrived in Russia.
