CargoJet 777-200LR Freighter Conversion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This particular airframe (N705DN) is equipped with General Electric GE90<\/a> engines and was originally delivered to Delta Air Lines (DL) <\/a>back in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mammoth introduced its 777-200LR and -300ER conversion programs in 2021 and officially revealed Cargojet as the launch customer for the -200LR modification in November of the same year. The converted aircraft is designated as the 777-200LRMF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cargojet initially placed an order for two of these converted aircraft with the option to acquire two more, in addition to a pair of -300ERMFs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mammoth has identified N705DN, with manufacturer serial number 29742 (MSN29742), as the aircraft for conformity during the certification process and the first one slated for delivery to the carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cargojet, in its semi-annual financial report covering the six months ending on June 30, revealed that it had entered into agreements for the conversion of four 777-200s, with the initial delivery anticipated in the first quarter of 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remaining aircraft are scheduled to be delivered in the second and third quarters of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Mammoth has entered into 777-200LRMF conversion agreements with DHL Express, while AviaAM Leasing has committed as the launch customer for the 777-300ERMF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saab to Make Boeing 787 Cargo Doors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The framework agreement between Saab and Boeing <\/a>represents an extension of a preexisting contract initially inked with Boeing back in 2004, specifically relating to the 787 Dreamliner <\/a>program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of the program\u2019s existence, Saab has already supplied more than 1,100 shipsets for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis contract extension reaffirms our role as a valued partner to Boeing in the highly successful 787 program, which ranks among the world\u2019s top-selling widebody aircraft. It further solidifies our enduring and productive collaboration with Boeing, encompassing both the commercial aerostructures sector and our involvement with the T-7A trainer program on the defense front,\u201d remarked Lars Tossman, the head of Saab\u2019s Aeronautics business area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saab boasts extensive experience in providing major aerostructures for a variety of aircraft programs, both military <\/a>and commercial. Similar to several other significant 787 components, these doors will primarily consist of composite materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
