DHL Air UK begins service with first two 777-200LRMFs

DHL Air UK has begun revenue service with its first two 777-200LRMFs converted by Mammoth Freighters, becoming the launch operator of the type. The 2008-vintage unit 29740 entered service this week, flying from the DHL Air UK hub at East Midlands Airport (EMA) to Leipzig (LEJ), Brussels (BRU) and Cincinnati (CVG).

Meanwhile, the 2009-vintage unit 32222, which was the first 777-200LRMF Mammoth redelivered to Jetran and was on static display at the Farnborough Airshow in July, entered revenue service in late October. That aircraft has since been flying regularly to EMA, LEJ and CVG, and has made one flight to Reykjavik (KEF), flight-tracking data from Flightradar24 showed. Unit 32222 was registered in the U.K. on Aug. 13 and was the first 777-200LRMF to be converted at the STS Aviation Services facility in Manchester, England (MAN). DHL did not respond to requests for comment by publication time. More Mammoth conversions Units 29740 and 32222 will not be the only 777-200LRMFs delivered to DHL this year, a Mammoth Freighters spokesperson told Cargo Facts. A third aircraft, the 2010-vintage unit 40559 (ex-Delta Air Lines), will be sent to DHL in late November, the spokesperson said. That freighter returned from San Bernardino (SBD) on Oct. 23 after having spent about three weeks at AFW for paint, flight-tracking data from Flightradar24 showed. A fourth will be delivered in early 2027, with the remaining nine conversions to follow as they are completed, the spokesperson added. DHL Air UK’s fleet also includes six production 777Fs. One more of those aircraft will be put into CMI service with China’s Central Airlines , Travis Cobb, executive vice president of global network operations and aviation for DHL Express, previously told Cargo Facts. Of the at least twenty-four 777-200LRMF conversions Jetran has ordered, thirteen will be delivered to DHL. Mammoth’s 777-200LRMF conversion program received its Supplemental Type Certificate from the FAA on April 7; the program launched in 2021 . Last month, Mammoth began 777 conversions in China with the induction of the 2009-vintage unit 32254 at STAECO’s new facility in Qingdao (TAO).
