Mammoth Freighters\u2019 passenger-to-freighter (P2F) models provide operators a reliable \u201cseven to ten year gap filler until Boeing can deliver enough passenger aircraft and freighters,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Pricing can be a plus, too: <\/strong>There is quite a substantial differential in the pricing of the aircraft, with the retrofitted 777-200LR costing \u201cclose to USD 80 mn to USD 90 mn lower than a brand new built freighter,\u201d McCarthy told us. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REMEMBER- Regional demand is booming:<\/strong> The Middle East commercial aviation market is forecasted to be driven by growing air travel demand, budget carriers, and significant aircraft orders.

Qatar Airways is getting \u201cthe first two aircrafts coming off of our production line, as soon as they are certified,\u201d McCarthy told us. \u201cWe are closing in on certification, right now, and finishing all our final flight tests,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A canon event<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong>Mammoth Freighters believes that Qatar\u2019s 777-Max deliveries will act as a \u201ctriggering event\u201d for more orders, but the company said it will remain focused on quality and remaining on schedule. \u201cWe'd rather make sure we focus on the certification tasks and support and deliver what we've already promised,\u201d McCarthy added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>P2F is an attractive model for leasing firms: <\/strong>Conversions into freighters is more practical for leasing firms compared to passenger jets. When a major carrier like Emirates or Qatar returns an aircraft to the lessor, the plane is highly unlikely to find another passenger airline, McCarthy said. This is because the retrofitted aircraft is fully branded \u2014 with operational standards and cabin configuration tailored specifically to the initial airline \u2014 making re-entry into service with a different carrier exceptionally complex and difficult, he added. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>P2Fs conversions also take the lead price-wise: <\/strong>\u201cOn a passenger plane, the residual value normally just falls and goes all the way to zero over some span of time, but on a freighter it goes down to a certain value and then stays there; it doesn\u2019t keep falling but levels off over time.\u201d That means that while it costs more to turn a jet into a freighter, long-term operational durability makes passenger-to-freighter jet retrofits (P2F) financially viable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>More retrofits also mean a better business outlook for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services providers<\/strong>, as the prolonged lifespan of aging carriers means there\u2019s a bigger need for regular maintenance services and more modifications and installations of spare parts, he added. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The MRO market is already heating up:<\/strong> Global MRO market size reached USD 114 bn in 2024, growing by 7.2% during the post-pandemic period, according to data from consulting outfit Oliver Wyman. The MRO market is expected to grow annually by a steady average of 2.7% to reach USD 156 bn in 2035.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But retrofitters like Mammoth also have to navigate supply chain snags. <\/strong>To hedge against any supply disruptions, the company began bulk ordering key parts two to three years ago. \u201cWe were buying 10 chip sets at a time, even though we didn\u2019t really need them yet,\u201d loading up on inventory at a great expense to \u201cinsulate ourselves because we were watching the whole industry suffer.\u201d Some 99% of Mammoth Freighters\u2019 materials are also bought locally in the United States at present, in a bid to maintain a more centralized supply chain than its counterparts in the industry. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>They aren\u2019t alone:<\/strong> Etihad Airways <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/logistics\/en\/news\/story\/0195cfde-fc35-44ac-a849-8a4ea7e9fa19\/today:-helios-eyes-stake-in-telecom-egypt%25e2%2580%2599s-data-center-unit-%2B-emirates-new-financing\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">is weighing bulk buying<\/a> aircraft parts and storing them in local warehouses for on-demand access \u2014 in a bid to sidestep supply chain gridlocks from planemakers.
