Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has signed an agreement with Sharp Technics K and Incheon International Airport Corporation to establish a facility for the passenger-to-freight conversion of Boeing 777-ERSF aircraft. The signing ceremony took place at South Korea’s Incheon International Airport, in the presence of senior officials and representatives of each of the companies.
The collaboration agreement will see IAI convert Boeing B777-300ER aircraft, starting in 2024. IAI’s Aviation Group recently completed a test flight of a 777 after it underwent passenger-to-cargo conversion, the first of its kind in the world. The company is also in the final stages of receiving the necessary licensing approval, a process expected to be concluded within the year.
