Announcing Joint Venture Between Kansas Modification Center and Stratos Industries
JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia and CASABLANCA, Morocco and DUBAI, UAE, April 13, 2024 – Today, Kansas Modification Center, LLC (KMC), STRATOS Industries, S.A. (STRATOS), and Integrated Aerospace Alliance, LLC (IAA), announced a ground-breaking collaboration set to redefine the 777-300ER passenger to freighter (P2F) conversion industry. This formal collaboration seeks to unite the unique strengths and capabilities of the rapidly expanding aviation industry in Morocco with the 777-300ER P2F engineering and certification capabilities of KMC and the aerospace engineering, certification, and program management skills of IAA. The project will encompass the development of a 777-300ER P2F production facility at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca, Morocco.
With the construction of three wide-body aircraft hangars in Morocco by STRATOS, KMC will be in a position to increase its 777-300ER P2F production output up to eight additional aircraft per year. The Morocco project will allow KMC, STRATOS, and IAA to meet the growing global demand for 777-300ER freighters and of its clients in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The 777-300ER P2F project in Morocco will be further enhanced with the construction and operations of a wide-body aircraft paint hangar by another STRATOS strategic partner.
