Jun 01, 2018 (newstodate): Vallair is all-in for conversion of Airbus A321 to freighters, having contracted two separate P2F providers as first-mover in this new business.
The conversion of the first Airbus A321 aircraft is well underway with first delivery slated for the end of this year, and the program relies on sourcing a pool of passenger aircraft ready for conversion as the slots are available.
Vallair thus recently purchased a batch of six A320 family aircraft, all of which will be allocated to short term lease programs within Vallair's current portfolio.
All aircraft will ultimately serve as initial feedstock for the company's launch of the two Airbus A321-200 P2F cargo conversion programs with the German aerospace company Elbe Flugzeugwerke and the US company 321 Precision Conversions, respectively.
As one example, Vallair has now placed one Airbus A321 aircraft on an 18-month short-term lease contract with the Ukrainian charter airline, Windrose Aviation Company.
Vallair thrives on the huge demand for aircraft capacity on ad-hoc and ACMI among many airlines; in 2017 Vallair had one aircraft on a lease contract, and in 2018 this will go up to 10 aircraft on contracts with operators worldwide.
