The flag carrier has ordered eight A220-100s and three A220-300s.
Elbe Flugzeugwerke has received Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) validation for the supplemental type certification (STC) of its A320 and A321 passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion programs. "With CAAC’s approval of the STC for our A320/A321P2F program, we can offer the full suite of our conversion solutions for Chinese-registered aircraft, a major step in supporting the freight needs of the rapidly expanding Chinese market," EFW CEO, Jordi Boto, said.
