Stratos to induct another A330-300P2F conversion

Aircraft manager Stratos is increasing its Airbus conversion activity and soon will send its second A330-300 for conversion with Elbe Flugzeugwerke. The 2014-vintage unit 1510 (ex-Philippine Airlines), with Trent 700 engines, will start conversion late this summer, Stratos told Cargo Facts . The A330 was registered in August 2022 in the Cayman Islands to JLPS Leasing Virgo after arriving at Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrenees Airport (LDE) in April that year for storage.

The Trent 700-powered aircraft landed in Dresden (DRS) on June 1 ahead of induction for conversion with EFW after “extensive rework including engine repairs, landing gears as well as airframe clearance,” Stratos Vice President of Technical John McHugh said in a statement. Stratos told Cargo Facts that it was not involved in the 2013-vintage unit 1408, another ex-Thai A330-300, that also arrived at DRS on June 1. Cargo Facts believes the aircraft also belongs to DHL. Unit 1510 will be the second A330-300 that Stratos has sent for freighter conversion on behalf of investors. In 2020, the 2006-vintage unit 713 (ex-AirAsia) began conversion at DRS . That A330-300P2F emerged in August 2021 in the colors of France-based forwarder Geodis , which had picked U.K.-based Titan Airways to operate the aircraft on a CMI basis on its behalf. Only a handful of lessors are known to have committed to A330-300P2F conversions with EFW: CDB Aviation and Altavair have already inducted their first units while Cargo Aircraft Management will follow later this year. Cargo Facts Symposium, taking place live Oct. 25-27 at the Omni San Diego, is the essential event for stakeholders in the freighter and air cargo industry. <a class="fui-Link ___1idfs5o f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1hu3pq6 f11qmguv f19f4twv f1tyq0we f1g0x7ka fhxju0i f1qch9an f1cnd47f fqv5qza f1vmzxwi f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh ftqa4ok f2hkw1w fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1h8hb77 f1x7u7e9 f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn" style="color: #0000ff;" title="https://cargofactsevents.com/cfs/" href="https://cargofactsevents.com/cfs/?__hstc=75154765.5a2bd8739d437d3e4a9a000e24d34ee7.1650314423785.1687985744017.1687991898681.2283&__hssc=75154765.2.1687991898681&__hsfp=1261619169" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" aria-label="Link Learn more"> Learn more and <a class="fui-Link ___1idfs5o f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1hu3pq6 f11qmguv f19f4twv f1tyq0we f1g0x7ka fhxju0i f1qch9an f1cnd47f fqv5qza f1vmzxwi f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh ftqa4ok f2hkw1w fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1h8hb77 f1x7u7e9 f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn" style="color: #0000ff;" title="https://cargofactsevents.com/product/cargo-facts-symposium-2023-registration/" href="https://cargofactsevents.com/product/cargo-facts-symposium-2023-registration/?__hstc=75154765.5a2bd8739d437d3e4a9a000e24d34ee7.1650314423785.1687985744017.1687991898681.2283&__hssc=75154765.2.1687991898681&__hsfp=1261619169" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" aria-label="Link register today"> register today to take advantage of our early-bird sale.
