Turkmenistan Airlines has placed an order for two
A330-200 Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) converted aircraft, becoming
a new Airbus customer. The order marks the first time an Airbus
aircraft is sold in Turkmenistan.
The A330-200P2F will enable the airline to further
develop and boost its international cargo route network. The deliveries of the aircraft are planned in 2022, making
Turkmenistan Airlines the first operator of this type in Central
Asia.
The A330P2F programme, launched in 2012, is a
collaboration between ST Engineering Aerospace, Airbus and their
joint venture Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH (EFW).
ST Engineering had
the programme and technical lead for the engineering development
phase, while EFW is the holder and owner for all Supplemental Type
Certificates (STCs) for the current Airbus conversion programs
including for A330P2F and leads the industrialization phase and
marketing for these programmes. Airbus contributes to the programme with the manufacturer data and certification support.
The A330P2F programme has two variants – the A330-200P2F
and A330-300P2F.
The A330-200P2F ordered by Turkmenistan Airlines
can carry up to 61 tons of weight to over 7700 km.
