UPS grows freighter-converted 767-300 fleet

[caption id="attachment_412405" align="alignright" width="531"] A 767-300BCF operated by UPS.[/caption] UPS took delivery this week of a 767-300BCF (25136, ex-ANA Cargo) on lease from Cargo Aircraft Management , or CAM, and put it into commercial service with a round-trip flight between the UPS Louisville (SDF) hub and Manchester (MHT) [ FAT 005292 ]. The aircraft was the third of five freighter-converted 767-300Fs that UPS committed to dry-lease from CAM last year in a move to quickly add capacity. Provided that conversion feedstock is available, 767 conversions can be added to a fleet much faster than production 767 freighters, which require lengthier lead times between order and delivery. Unlike the first two CAM-leased units (28039 and 28041), which were converted by IAI Aviation Group ahead of placement with UPS, CAM acquired this ex-ANA Cargo aircraft already configured as a freighter. UPS expects the two remaining 767-300s to join its fleet in Q1 2020, the carrier confirmed to Cargo Facts . As for the next two Louisville-bound airframes, a second ex-ANA Cargo 767-300BCF (24632) is undergoing conformity by CAM and will soon be placed with UPS. As for the fifth unit, the aircraft is currently undergoing conversion to freighter configuration by IAI, but CAM could not identify the aircraft by serial number. CAM currently has five additional 767-300s undergoing conversion to freighter configuration at IAI’s MRO in Tel Aviv (TLV). In addition to the two UPS placements in Q1, CAM is committed to dry-leasing four 767-300Fs to Amazon in 2020 that are outstanding as part of a December 2018 agreement to lease ten of the fleet type. CAM placements with Amazon, however, could continue well beyond the ten additional units as the deal also includes warrant incentives for Amazon to add up to seventeen additional freighters. UPS, for its part, does not have any additional freighter-conversions on order beyond the two 767-300Fs but will continue to take delivery of new-build 767-300Fs and 747-8Fs from Boeing in 2020.
