Israel Aerospace Industries’ (IAI) Aviation Group is marking a significant milestone in the process of converting the first Boeing B777-300ER aircraft, cutting an opening in the hull to install a cargo door.
The part of the cabin Removed from the aircraft is 7 meters long and a third of the aircraft’s circumference. This important milestone comes shortly after the beginning of the aircraft’s structural modification, a process that will take approximately 130 days, at the end of which the passenger aircraft will be converted into a cargo aircraft.
The process of converting the aircraft from passenger to freighter configuration, and especially the step of cutting a large segment of the aircraft’s hull, is a testament to IAI’s decades-long aviation experience and engineering capabilities being among the most advanced in the world.
Carrying out the cargo conversion with high quality and capability ensures an optimal solution for customers and secures the future of cargo conversions for the company.
