Vallair has delivered its third Airbus A321 passenger to freighter (P2F) conversion, which will be operated by SmartLynx Malta on behalf of DHL.
The A321, serial number MSN 1017 was the first one inducted in China and is the third one Vallair has delivered in a year.
Following conversion, maintenance and painting was carried out at Vallair’s MRO facility in Montpellier, France.
Patrick Leopold, Head of Trading and Leasing at Vallair says: “Month on month we see the ever-augmenting demands of e-commerce and e-freight and the A321F is the ideal candidate in terms of payload and capacity - the ability to offer containerised cargo on the main and lower deck, thus reducing turn-around-times is also an advantage.”
