Mammoth Freighters’ Boeing 777-200LR passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion program reached several milestones in recent weeks, including the start of the first 777-200LR conversion (MSN 32222) at the STS Aviation Services facility in Manchester, UK.
Fort Worth, Texas-based Mammoth sees the STS agreement as strategic, as Manchester provides a convenient location that can easily serve greater Europe and will provide a central product support base for Mammoth customers in that region.
“STS in Manchester has a highly skilled and available workforce in the UK,” said Brian McCarthy, Mammoth’s vice president of marketing and sales. “Furthermore, STS offers substantial hangar facilities and services, which makes them a perfect provider for a double production line of Mammoth 777-200LRMF and 777-300ERMF conversions.”
Founded in 2020, Mammoth Freighters designs, develops, converts, and supports the development of passenger-to-freighter conversions. The Boeing 777-200LR and 300ER serve as the launch models.
As a licensee for the Boeing 777, Mammoth is developing a global production and conversion site network consisting of seven production lines, including five at Aspire MRO in Fort Worth and two at STS Aviation Services in Manchester. It intends to establish additional conversion capacity planned at other sites in the Asia-Pacific region.
Two 777-200LRs have reached advanced stages of freighter conversion at Aspire MRO. The company received the first complete shipset of the Collins Aerospace cargo loading system for the Mammoth 777-200LRMF earlier this month. “The specialized 777-200LRMF cargo loading system is an essential element that builds on Collins’ proven powered widebody freighter technologies,” said&nbsp;Mammoth Freighters vice president of operations Cameron France.
Mammoth said it aims to achieve full certification of the 777-200LRMF passenger-to-freighter conversion in the second half of this year.
