321 Precision Conversions, LLC
(321PC), announced Vallair Solutions
sàrl, a wholly owned company of
Vallair Capital S.A. (Vallair), as their
launch customer for the passenger-tofreighter
conversion of Airbus A321-
200 aircraft including the prototype
aircraft and follow-on option aircraft.
The prototype Aircraft (MSN891)
was delivered by Vallair to 321PC
in July. The company anticipates
approval of a FAA Supplemental
Type Certificate (STC) for A321-200
conversions in 2019, with EASA and
CAAC validations thereafter. The
Airbus A321 family includes over
1,400 aircraft already built and the
A321NEO is now in production. This
will generate an almost unprecedented
feedstock for future conversion
candidates.
Vallair, already engaged in the
converted cargo aircraft market, is
an ideal launch customer for 321PC.
They are developing a comprehensive
support network for both engines
and airframe components as well as
MRO services to better serve the new
operators of the A321-200PCF.
