Cargojet increases B777P2F-orders
Canadian carrier Cargojet has announced it's increasing its commitments to passenger-to-freighter (P2F) converted B777Fs by securing four B777-300ERSFs with IAI. Two will be delivered in the third quarter of 2024, one in the second quarter of 2025 and the final one in the first quarter of 2026. Last year, Cargojet also announced it had ordered two B777-200LRMFs with Mammoth Aerospace and earlier this year they also added two more. This means that the airline will expand the fleet with a total of eight B777P2Fs in the coming four years.
It has also been confirmed that four of the B777P2Fs will be deployed for DHL, which recently acquired 9,5% of the shares of Cargojet. Next to this, the Canadian carrier will also deploy five additional B767-300Fs for DHL, all to be added this year and next year.
Cargojet, which was founded in 2002, is currently operating ten B757-200PCFs, three B767-200BDSFs and eighteen B767-300ERBCFs/BDSFs. It's also planning to add two more B757- and at least one B767-freighter(s) in the coming months.
