MNG Airlines receives first A321P2F aircraft

ST Engineering redelivered the first of the two A321 Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) aircraft placed on lease to MNG Airlines, in a joint venture with Juniper Aviation. After several months of conversion, MNG Airlines’ first A321P2F called TC-MYA finally took off today morning from Singapore. “With a gross load capacity of approximately 28 tonnes, we are looking forward to our aircraft offering less emissions,” stated MNG Airlines. A.Sedat Ozkazanc, CEO, MNG Airlines says, “We are excited to complement our existing widebody fleet with this Airbus A321P2F narrowbody freighter and look forward to adding another one in the near future. This addition makes us the world’s first airline to operate all previous and current Airbus freighter programmes. This aircraft type also represents the epitome of our environmental commitments.” With the addition of this freighter aircraft, MNG Airlines will now enjoy the benefits of an expanded Airbus freighter portfolio comprising both the narrowbody A321P2F and widebody A330P2F platforms.
