nit: the link seems not to be valid. On the main topic, so MasAir will be getting 2 A330-200P2F and 2 A330-300P2F by 2023, that's a pretty significant capacity increase from their current fleet size. One has to wonder if they'll return their leased ATSG 767s at some point given their age and maintain an Airbus only fleet. The fact that CDB is able to place both frames to a lessee right after the first of two entered conversion proves the correctness on their decision to enter the A330P2F space and grab the early spots last year. There are some extra A330-300s under CDB have come off leases recently, so I wonder if a top-up order will come sometime soon given that they are able to place the first two this soon.

- CDB Aviation (2) -- Will likely be MSN 958 and MSN 964, ex-China Southern, both are currently parked at CAN after the end of lease. Will enter conversion mid-2021. MSN964 B-6501 seen at Beijing Daxing/PKX Yesterday with China Southern livery.

MSN964 B-6501 seen at Beijing Daxing/PKX Yesterday with China Southern livery. Thanks for the info. 964 should be the next one to enter DRS (after 713 comes out in a month or so). I wonder if it'll be painted white before entering or CDB (CZ) will send it as what it is now. The other two ex-CZ frames (879, and 958) were both painted white before entering DRS.

ULS Airlines (Turkey) bought A330-300 MSN 349 (ex-Thomas Cook and Sunclass) ahead of conversion, although according to this article a conversion slot at EFW won't be secured until 2022. cargofacts.com/allposts/conversions/uls-acquires-first-a330-ahead-of-conversion/Known slots already sold by EFW in the for-seeable future: - DHL(2) -- The two frames in conversion for DHL 1107 (ex-HongKong Airlines) and 1477 (ex-Hi Fly) will make a total of 8 A330-300P2F for DHL, so that makes it 2 left in DHL's original order of 10. There are 10 (?) more options for DHL as well but I don't think I've heard anything on them being firmed just yet. - CDB Aviation (2) -- Will likely be MSN 958 and MSN 964, ex-China Southern, both are currently parked at CAN after the end of lease. Will enter conversion mid-2021. - Turkmenistan Airlines (2 -200s) -- see a couple posts above, timeline unknown at this point. a380.boards.net/post/161322/threadThere's been a lot of announcements and orders happened in the last couple months, thus thought about updating this list. Known orders and slots already sold by EFW are as follows(my understanding is that currently the slots at DRS are completely sold out till the end of 2022). From where it stands now, the con-concurrency at DRS is still at 4, meaning only 4 frames could be converted at at the same time, although EFW did publicly announce a couple years ago that 5 could be achieved at some point, we'll see. The typical conversion time is about 9 months/frame, give or take a month or two. * note the number inside parenthesis is not including the frames currently in conversion * - DHL(2) -- Since the last update, 1107 came out of DRS and painted and delivered to EAT-Leipzig. It was painted into the typical all-yellow DHL color, currently being prepared to enter revenue service. That left 1477 (ex-Hi Fly) as the only one that's currently in conversion for DHL. We'll have to wait and see where the last two frames for DHL will come from. - CDB Aviation (1) -- 958 has entered conversion in April. 964 is waiting at PKX per K for its turn to enter. I expect it to be the next one enter (or slightly less likely, one of the -200s). Both will go to MasAir Mexico after completed. - MNG (1) -- 879 entered DRS in March. 889 (TC-MCN) is currently stored in Istanbul waiting for its turn. EFW said it'll begin conversion in 2022. - Altavair (2 -200s) -- Both frames will be leased to MasAir. MasAir was expecting both frames to be delivered in Q1 2022, not clear on if that plan has slipped or not. If the plan holds, the entires to conversion for both should happen no later than Q3 this year, even with that the timeline sounds a little tight. We'll see how it pans out. Both should be ex-EY frames. - Turkmenistan Airlines (2 -200s) -- Not much updates since the last post. The conversion should still start in 2021 according to article below. But unknown on exactly which quarter or timeframe. airlinegeeks.com/2021/01/23/turkmenistan-targets-cargo-growth-with-a330p2f-order/- ULS (1) -- ULS bought 349 earlier this year from Sunclass. Currently leased to San Marino Executive Aviation for pax charters and as a preighter per this post a380.boards.net/post/165972/thread. Given the tight slot situation at EFW, I highly doubt that the entry into conversion will be before early 2022.
