Dec 02, 2022 (newstodate): The first converted Boeing 767-300ER freighter aircraft for Icelandair Cargo is now on the tarmac at Keflavik Airport.
The aircraft was manufactured in 1999 and started its commercial life with Britannia Airways, and Icelandair Cargo is now preparing for its first flight heading for Liege, Belgium, in a few days.
The second aircraft ordered for conversion at ST Engineering facility in Singapore is reportedly due to follow in the coming weeks already.
After redelivery of the two Boeing 767-300 aircraft, two Boeing 757 freighters now in the fleet of Icelandair will be retired in 2023 and 2024, respectively, as their lease periods expire.
Compared to the Boeing 757-200F freighter now in service with Icelandair Cargo, the converted Boeing 767-300ER freighter will offer up to 50 percent more cargo capacity and longer range.
To facilitate the conversion works, Icelandair Group signed a 10 years sale/lease-back agreement with Titan Aircraft Investments for the two converted Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
