Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is redefining aircraft conversions with a strategic approach to passenger-to-freighter (P2F) transformations.

TRANSFORMING Passenger Aircraft

WHAT CRITERIA DOES IAI USE TO SELECT NEW AIRCRAFT MODELS FOR P2F CONVERSIONS?

IAI's approach to selecting aircraft for passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversions is rooted in a deep understanding of the market's needs. With over 40 years of experience in aircraft conversions, we offer solutions tailored to every market segment, including narrow-body, medium-size, and wide-body aircraft. This comprehensive portfolio ensures we can meet diverse operator requirements. For example, the narrow-body segment benefits from our expertise with the B737 series. In the medium-size market, our current conversion programs focus on the B767-300ER and B767-200, both highly reliable and cost-effective options, while the upcoming A330-300 program will provide operators with a modern and efficient alternative. For the wide-body segment, the B777-300ERSF delivers unparalleled capacity and efficiency, making it a preferred choice for operators globally. This strategic approach allows us to meet evolving market demands with precision and reliability.
