Amazon acquires A330-300 from Stratos for P2F conversion

Amazon has acquired an Airbus A330-300 from Stratos, a leading aircraft investment specialist and asset manager. The aircraft will undergo passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion to support Amazon’s continued expansion in dedicated air cargo operations under Amazon Air.

The aircraft, MSN 1359, is 12.7 years old and was previously operated by French carrier Corsair International under the registration F-HSKY. It was originally delivered to the airline in November 2012, according to a data from Planespotters.net.

The aircraft was withdrawn from use and stored at Paris Orly Airport from 3 March to 2 July 2025. It is now registered as N7019K with Amazon and currently stored at Pinal Airpark (MZJ) in the U.S. The aircraft is powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines.

The A330-300, formerly operated by Corsair, was transitioned smoothly thanks to close collaboration and the excellent professionalism of the respective airlines' teams involved, according to an official release from Stratos.

This transaction highlights Stratos’ strong capabilities in placing mid-life widebody aircraft and its commitment to meeting rising demand from airlines for fleet adjustments in a highly constrained market.

“We are delighted to have facilitated this transition from Corsair to Amazon. This placement showcases the strength of Stratos’ global network and our ability to source and dispose of high-quality assets tailored to the evolving needs of our clients. The A330 P2F market continues to gain momentum, and we’re proud to support this dynamic segment,” says Gary Fitzgerald, CEO of Stratos.

Amazon Air currently operates a fleet of 96 aircraft, including 10 Airbus A330-300 converted freighters operated by Hawaiian Airlines. The latest addition, its 10th A330F, was recently delivered and named ‘Resilience.’ The fleet also includes 27 Boeing 737-800 freighters and 59 Boeing 767-300 freighters.
