Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • AerCap has placed the world's first two IAI-converted 777-300ERSFs with Kalitta under a seven-aircraft lease, including the prototype certification airframe, with revenue operations due to start in October — a clear commercial launch for the new P2F type. See IAI's STC and programme completion for background.

  • The deliveries validate IAI's conversion capability for one of the largest P2F freighters and follow successful oversized loading tests that demonstrate main-deck capability for engines and other outsized cargo — a capability that changes payload and route planning for long-range cargo operators. See the engine loading trial for technical context.
