Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH (EFW) and Chinese MRO service provider AMECO (Aircraft Maintenance and Engineering Corp) have agreed on a new collaboration to add capacity for A330P2F conversions.

Under the partnership, AMECO will carry out P2F conversions as a third-party service provider for EFW’s A330P2F programme at its facilities in Chengdu, China, with the induction of a first A330 aircraft scheduled in 2023.

“We look forward to cooperating with EFW to support the market demand and to promote the air cargo industry development,” said Lun Chen, CEO of Ameco. “Conversions have always been a strategic product of Ameco. This cooperation will expand the P2F market and provide better service to our customers.”

AMECO is the second third-party conversion house that formed a partnership with EFW this year for its A330P2F programme. Last month it announced Istanbul-based Turkish Technic’s involvement in its conversion programme.
