Passenger-to-Freighter Conversion

Passenger-to-Freighter Conversion (P2F) refers to the process of modifying a passenger aircraft to carry cargo instead. This involves converting the interior of the plane to accommodate freight, which can include installing cargo nets, removing seats, and reinforcing the floor to handle heavy cargo. The conversion process can be complex and requires significant modifications to the aircraft's structure, systems, and avionics. Conversions are typically performed on older passenger aircraft that are no longer economically viable for passenger service, but still have a significant amount of life left in their airframes. By converting these planes to freighters, airlines and cargo operators can breathe new life into the aircraft and extend their useful lifespan.
