Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), a global leader in passenger-to-freighter (P2F) aircraft conversions, has successfully completed a door cutting phase in its Airbus A330-300BDSF conversion program – an important step in this cargo conversion program. The Airbus A330-300BDSF, is a next-generation, medium-size freighter converted by IAI, offering a competitive, cutting-edge solution for cargo operators seeking to expand and modernize their widebody fleets.
The converted aircraft will feature increased cargo volume, improved loading efficiency and reduced cargo operation turnaround time (TAT), due to the optimized location of its unique main cargo door. Additionally, our platform offers a range of advanced enhancements including multiple Powered Cargo Loading System (PCLS) configurations which maximize flexibility and efficiency during cargo operations as well as a modernized supernumerary area with a fully equipped wet galley and overhead bin, to provide comfort and support for onboard personnel during operations.
