With a longer fuselage than the A320P2F, it offers 28% more volume that is especially of interest for the fast-growing express and e-commerce markets. With 24 positions on main and lower deck, the A321P2F is the only viable 757 freighter replacement.

Our converted A321 and A320 passenger-to-freighter aircraft offer both the lowest fuel burn in this class, as well as a fully containerized upper and lower deck for the first time in this freighter segment.

The A321 Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) conversion is the first freighter aircraft in its size category to offer containerised loading in both the main (up to 14 full container positions) and lower deck (up to 10 container positions).

We examine what makes this aircraft operationally unique, as well as the technical and conversion considerations for operators who plan to bring this type into their fleets. Q1: Can you outline the process of converting the A321 passenger aircraft into a P2F? – What do you remove; what do you install? T.C.

The A321-200PCF is a passenger to freighter conversion, developed by Precision Conversions and certificated in 2021. Sine Draco Aviation also offers an A321 passenger-to-freighter conversion programme; its first conversion is expected for the first quarter of 2022.

Airbus A321s that have completed their operational service carrying passengers for airlines can soon have a second life as highly efficient freighters, converted through a programme involving ST Engineering and Airbus with their joint venture, Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW).

Feb 3, 2024 · To contest the narrowbody freighter market, Airbus, which, until recently did not really have an aircraft in this category, launched the A320 and A321 P2F versions of its popular aircraft family. This opened the P2F path to a large pool of active A320ceo family aircraft that are aging and being retired from passenger service.

With a generous payload-range capability that can above 28 metric tons (more than 61,800 lbs) over 2,300 nautical miles, the A321P2F is the ideal narrowbody freighter aircraft for express domestic and regional operations.

In 2020 Titan Airways became the first carrier in the northern hemisphere – and one of the first in the world – to operate the Airbus A321P2F. The aircraft is the first of its size to have containerised loading in both of its two decks.

With a generous payload-range capability that can carry up to 27.9 metric tons over 2,300 nautical miles, the A321P2F is the ideal narrow-body freighter aircraft for express domestic and regional operations.
