Israel Aerospace Industries has completed the first passenger-to-freighter conversion of a Boeing 777-300ER and secured supplemental type certificates from both the FAA and Israeli CAAI. The 777-300ERSF programme—developed since 2019—creates one of the world’s largest converted freighters with up to a 100‑tonne payload.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • IAI’s dual STC and completed conversion delivers a certificated 777-300ERSF with up to a 100‑tonne payload, enabling main‑deck and outsized cargo moves; see the recent main-deck engine loading trial demonstrating that capability (Trent 1000 test) (https://hype.aero/?story=c226289e-3474-48e7-980d-ad92b04bfbed).
  • The 777-300ERSF enters a market where Boeing platforms continue to dominate cargo tonne‑kilometres, adding converted widebody lift to constrained global freighter capacity (https://hype.aero/?story=0a7b62c1-6faa-4f62-80ea-01c67d8f3a3c).
  • Commercial activity around 777 freighters is already visible in the market, with operators assigning new 777Fs to cargo carriers and ACMI partners, signalling immediate demand for additional 777-class capacity (https://hype.aero/?story=7e600f4d-8638-499d-8d39-62d853d8f8ad).
