"Together with our A330-200F factory-produced freighter, the A330-300P2F will grow our fleet of efficient medium-sized freighters to create better economics for MNG Airlines’ customers," he adds.
"We are excited to welcome MNG Airlines as a new A330P2F programme customer,” says Dr Andreas Sperl, CEO of EFW.

"We look forward to a good working relationship with MNG Airlines and to supporting them strongly to meet the growing international and regional air freight demand," he adds.
With these two A330-300P2F conversion freighters, MNG Airlines will add further capacity to its network, complementing its current Airbus aircraft fleet of four converted A300-600RF and one factory-produced A330-200F.
The A330-300P2F provides about 23% more volume than its closest competitor B767-300ER. Depending on the weight variants, the conversion freighter can offer a gross payload of up to 63 tonnes per flight and a range capability of up to 3600 nautical miles.
The first A330 aircraft has been inducted for conversion on 1 April, while conversion for the second aircraft will commence in 2022. Conversions will be carried out at EFW’s facility in Dresden, Germany.
ST Engineering closed April 1 at $3.88, down one cent, or 0.26%.
