Icelandair to convert 2 B767-300ERs into freighters

Icelandair has announced it has signed a sale and leaseback deal with Titan Aircraft Investments for two of its B767-300ERs, which include the conversion of the planes into freighters. The conversions are due to take place early next year, with re-delivery to Icelandair by September 2022.

The duo will join Icelandair's current cargo-fleet of two B757-200Fs, which are slated for retirement in 2023 and 2024 when their leases expires. It's currently unknown which two of the four B767s the airline has in the fleet will be converted. There are three candidates, as the fourth, TF-ISN (30586) is already leased through GECAS. This leaves TF-ISO (29388), TF-ISP (26971) and TF-ISW (28745).
