Air Transport Services Group, a provider of cargo aircraft leasing, air cargo transportation, and related services, has delivered its second Airbus A330 passenger-to-freighter conversion to Istanbul-based ULS Airlines Cargo.
The aircraft, registered as TC-GOU and bearing MSN 349, is 25.1 years old and was originally delivered to Denmark’s Premiair. It was acquired by Cargo Aircraft Management (CAM), a subsidiary of ATSG. The aircraft was converted into a freighter in March this year.
The aircraft was ferried on its delivery flight from Istanbul Atatürk Airport (ISL) to Istanbul Airport (IST) on 11 August, according to data from Planespotters.net.
ULS Airlines Cargo has a fleet of five aircraft, comprising three Airbus A310-300P2F and two Airbus A330-300P2F, the newest of which was just delivered.
ULS Airlines Cargo operates a network spanning Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, specialising in scheduled and charter cargo services. The addition of a second A330P2F strengthens its capacity to serve high-volume and long-haul markets, complementing its existing fleet and supporting its strategic growth plans.
“ATSG’s A330P2F programme continues to deliver modern, fuel-efficient freighter capacity to meet the growing demands of global air cargo,” says Todd France, Chief Commercial Officer of ATSG. “The delivery of this second aircraft to ULS reflects our shared commitment to fleet modernisation, operational reliability, and long-term partnership.”
The A330-300P2F is a versatile widebody freighter with a gross payload capacity of about 62 tonnes and a cargo volume exceeding 526 cubic metres. The aircraft underwent passenger-to-freighter conversion by Turkish Technic in Istanbul, in partnership with Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH (EFW), a joint venture between Airbus and ST Engineering that holds the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the A330P2F programme.
“Expanding our A330P2F fleet enhances our ability to meet customer demand while improving efficiency and reliability,” says Yasin Ata, Managing Director of ULS Airlines Cargo. “We value ATSG’s expertise in providing dependable aircraft solutions and look forward to continuing this partnership as we grow our cargo network.”
