By the end of 2022, in total 22 A330P2F have been re-delivered, after a modest start of this programme, the customer demand for conversions of this wide body aircraft increased remarkably during 2021 and over the past year, and has been superseding by end of 2022 the conversion requests concerning the latest single aisle programme of A321P2F & A320P2F which was entering the market back in 2020. After achieving the STC for the A321P2F in February 2020, the FAA certification in July 2020, the world’s first A321P2F aircraft has been delivered in September 2020 to launch customer Vallair entering into service in October of that year and is since than operated by Qantas for Australia Post.
