Colibri Aero, along with J&C Aero, has unveiled cargo containers for passenger cabins of wide-body aircraft made by Boeing and Airbus. The cargo container allows Airbus and Boeing cabin conversion between passenger and cargo operation in a matter of 24 hours.

The cargo containers come in five different sizes and are designed for wide-body passenger cabins of Airbus A330, A340 and Boeing 767, 777. Each equipped with its own smoke detector, the cargo containers are intended for temporal replacement of passenger seats while converting the aircraft’s cabin for transportation of cargo of any type.

The initial modification is intended for use in cabins with the supervising cabin crew members. After certifying cargo container under European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s (EASA) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) requirements, the modification will be upgraded for other aircraft types and size variations.

With one container being able to transport up to 850 kg (1870 lb) of commercial cargo, a typical Airbus A330 cabin can be converted in just 24 hours, fitting 36 containers – almost 27 tonnes (58,640 lb) of cargo per single flight can be transported inside the passenger cabin.

In April, Colibri Aero and J&C Aero launched EASA-certified commercial cargo seat bags

After the Covid-19 pandemic brought passenger aviation to a complete halt resulting in severe shortage in air freight capacity, Colibri and J&C launched first EASA-certified commercial cargo seat bags for Airbus A319/A320/A321 passenger cabins in April. These spacious kits for double and triple seats allow airlines to transport commercial and humanitarian cargo inside passenger cabins.
