Read More » In October 2019, GECAS and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) launched a freighter conversion program for the 777-300ER. At the time, GECAS signed a firm order for 15 777-300ERSF and options for another 15 of the type. This latest announcement lifted the firm order to 18 aircraft, with 12 remaining options. "We are seeing immense interest in this new product from seasoned operators like Kalitta to new start-ups that recognise its clear advantages of affordability of the aircraft, best in class economics and the expanded capacity of the 777-300ERSF," GECAS cargo senior vice president, Rich Greener, said. Kalitta Air will lease two 777-300ERSFs in addition to its commitment to three of the type signed in 2020.
First delivery of the aircraft is scheduled for 2023.
