Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has reached a key milestone in its Airbus A330-300 conversion programme, as the first aircraft was moved into the hangar earlier this month to begin its transformation from a passenger plane to a freighter.<\/p>\n

This follows the successful completion of the final design review (FDR), clearing the way for the conversion process to commence.<\/p>\n

In preparation for this project, IAI has established two supply chains to ensure stable and consistent production.<\/p>\n

Between 2025 and 2028, the company plans to convert 30 Airbus A330-300 aircraft from passenger to cargo configurations.<\/p>\n

The converted A330-300s will offer a competitive, advanced option for cargo and logistics companies aiming to expand their fleets. These modifications will increase cargo space, optimise cargo-loading times due to a uniquely placed cargo door, and enhance operational efficiency for widebody cargo jet operations.<\/p>\n

IAI\u2019s Aviation Group, a global leader in passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversions, has successfully converted multiple aircraft models. The group is also renowned for its MRO capabilities, providing customers with long-term support and swift responses to their aviation needs.<\/p>\n

Shmuel Kuzi, vice president and general manager of IAI\u2019s Aviation Group<\/a>, said: “The entry of the first Airbus A330-300 into the passenger-to-freight conversion process is a significant milestone in the expansion of our portfolio for customers who choose to benefit from IAI’s extensive knowledge, uncompromising quality, and attractive pricing in the field of aircraft cargo conversion.”<\/p>\n
