IAI to Offer Boeing 767 Conversions, Plans Future 787 Work

Israel Aerospace Industries announced it is currently offering passenger-to-freighter conversion services for Boeing 767 aircraft. The company also stated plans to add the Boeing 787 to its conversion portfolio in the future. IAI noted that while the Boeing 787 has structural challenges due to its high volume of composite materials, its engineering capabilities are sufficient to handle the conversion process.

The expansion of conversion services into the Boeing 787 market indicates a growing demand for lifecycle extension of large commercial aircraft. IAI, which has over 50 years of experience in the passenger-to-freighter business, positions itself as a comprehensive service provider for used freighter operations.
