Apr 19, 2023 (newstodate): Icelandair Cargo has now two Boeing 767-300ER converted freighter aircraft in the fleet.
   The latest aircraft landed at Keflavik Airport on April 18, 2023, after cargo conversion by ST Aero’s center at Singapore’s Paya Lebar Airport completed by the end of 2022, with subsequent paint works by IAC at Shannon Airport.
   The conversion program started in May 2022 after Icelandair ferried the passenger aircraft serving the airline since 2016 to the conversion center.
   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 conversions.
