Mammoth Freighters inducts first 777-200LR for conversion in China

Mammoth Freighters has inducted its first Boeing 777-200LR, ex-Delta N708DN, at STAECO’s Qingdao facility for conversion to a 777-200LRMF freighter. The move expands the program’s production footprint into China and broadens Mammoth’s conversion network in Asia, roughly two months after its first completed aircraft was delivered.
