Air Transport Services Group, the leading provider of medium wide-body cargo aircraft leasing, passenger and cargo air transport and related services, announced earlier this week an agreement with Jetran, LLC to acquire twenty Boeing 767-300 extended-range passenger aircraft from Jetran over the next three years.
The aircraft covered by this agreement are currently operated by American Airlines. They were manufactured between 1993 and 2003, and are powered by General Electric CF6-series engines. ATSG currently expects to begin freighter modification of six of the twenty 767-300s during 2019, up to nine during 2020, and no fewer than five in 2021.
Twenty aircraft to be acquired through 2021 will meet strong e-commerce-driven demand for mid-size freighters
