ATSG satser på A330-fraktere

The Boeing 767 is Air Transport Services Group’s flagship freighter for its aircraft leasing and cargo airline businesses. Out of 110 aircraft currently in service, 91 are 767s. The medium widebodies are just the right size for express delivery linehaul routes — not too big, not too small — which require fast turn times and high load factors to make them economical.

So why is Wilmington, Ohio-based ATSG (NASDAQ: ATSG) betting big on the Airbus A330? The primary reason is fleet modernization using an aircraft that has recently become much more affordable and can carry even more cargo by volume than the 767.

Last week, the company announced plans to purchase 20 used A330s, convert them to freighters and lease them to express delivery operators and other customers. It has also placed deposits with a German maintenance and overhaul outfit to secure production slots two years from now.
