Dublin-headquartered leasing firm AviaAM Leasing is set to finish a Boeing 777-300ER passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion project in 2025, according to a statement. The firm is working alongside P2F developer Mammoth Freighters, with the project slated for completion by the end of this year.

The specs: The 777-300ER model can carry 819 cbm in volume with a max payload of around 98 tons, according to Mammoth Freighters’ website. The P2F firm also develops the 777-200ER model, which can carry more weight at a maximum payload of up to 106 tons but at a smaller volume of 650 cbm.

ICYMI- Qatar Airways is set to be the first uptaker of the 777-200ER models after it commissioned five jets earlier this year.

Why does it matter? Demand for retrofits is going up as airlines work to ramp up capacity amid industry-wide delivery delays. Mammoth Freighters could be up for more orders as demand for cargo freighters goes up.

About the players: AviaAM Leasing is a global aviation holding company specializing in the acquisition, leasing, and sale of commercial aircraft, with a focus on mid-life narrow-body, and high-potential regional jets. Texas-based Mammoth Freighters is a Boeing licensee that converts 777 passenger aircraft— 200LR and 300ER variants — into freighters.
