Cargojet Airways became the launch customer for Mammoth Freighters’ new 777-200LR freighter with the signing of a sales agreement for two initial 777-200LRMF freighters. Cargojet has additional options for two 300ERMFs and two additional 200LRMFs.
MSN 29747, the prototype (conformity) article for certification, will be the first aircraft delivered to Cargojet. The aircraft is expected to begin the conversion process in mid-2022 with delivery to Cargojet in the second half of 2023.
Cargojet is a Canadian provider of air cargo services to major cities across North America, providing dedicated ACMI and international charter services and carrying more than 25 million pounds of cargo weekly. Cargojet operates its network with its own fleet of 31 aircraft.
“We are grateful and excited that Mammoth has been selected by Cargojet to bring this conversion to market and demonstrate the significance of our product to the world,” Bill Tarpley, co-CEO of Mammoth Freighters, said. “This is the next generation of converted freighters that have improved on-wing performance while using less fuel and emitting less carbon than the current aging widebody fleet.”
