German freighter conversion firm Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW) has redelivered the last of five Airbus A330-200 passenger to freighter (P2F) aircraft to EgyptAir Cargo.
As the launch customer for the A330-200P2F, EgyptAir has worked closely with EFW on the programme. The airline signed up for the converted freighter in 2015 and received the first aircraft in 2018.
With this latest converted aircraft, EFW has now successfully redelivered all nine freighters from different Airbus widebody generations for the Egyptian carrier to-date from its facilities in Dresden, Germany.
“The completion of this project is another testament to the strong relationship between EgyptAir and EFW, built on mutual trust, technical excellence and a shared commitment to meeting the growing demand for efficient air cargo solutions,” said Lee London, senior vice president sales & marketing, EFW.
“We are proud to support EgyptAir’s cargo operations with highly capable and efficient freighter aircraft and thank the team for their continued confidence in our expertise.”
“The successful redelivery of this Airbus A330-200P2F is an important achievement in our cooperation with EFW. We appreciate EFW’s expertise, commitment, and the close collaboration between both teams throughout the programme. We value our longstanding relationship with EFW and look forward to its continued development,” said Ihab Eltahtawy, chief executive and chairman of EgyptAir.
EFW launched the A330-300/200P2F conversion programme in 2013 as part of a joint venture with Airbus and ST Aerospace of Singapore.
