More converted B767 freighters and a perfect flight


Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has secured a contract with DHL International to convert an additional three B767-300 passenger aircraft to cargo aircraft, with the potential for a fourth unit.

 

Valued at tens of millions of USD, this contract marks a milestone for IAI’s conversions programme and the broadening of business for IAI’s Aviation Group which was established in 2019 by combining the company's commercial and military aircraft activities.

 

In other news, DHL Express conducted a ground-breaking demonstration flight on 1 July 2020. On its flight from the DHL hub in Leipzig to New York JFK, the A330-200F was scheduled to consume a considerably lower amount of fuel and generate reduced CO2 emissions, based on more than 50 actions to support a "perfect flight" in a much less busy airspace.
