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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
