ST Aerospace and Vallair to convert 10 aircrafts by 2019

Both aim to boost the air freight market.

ST Aerospace announced that Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW), which is its joint venture with Airbus, has secured a launch contract from Vallair Solutions Sari (Vallair) for its A321 Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) conversion solution.

10 A321-200 passenger aircraft will be converted to a 14-pallet cargo configuration for Vallair. The first aircraft will be inducted in 4Q2018, and will be redelivered by 2019.

Further, both aim to increase the growth rate of the air freight market.

“As the e-commerce and express market continues to grow, our investments in new freighter conversion programmes will allow us to seize the opportunities created by the uptick in freighter demand. While offering a strong proposition with its unique container position in the lower deck, the A321P2F will also complement our other freighter solutions such as the mid-sized A330P2F program, to provide customers with a range of options to select from in support of their diverse operational needs,” ST Aerospace’s president Lim Serh Ghee said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
