Fort Worth, Texas – July 18th, 2024 – Mammoth Freighters LLC (“Mammoth”), is pleased to announce it has inducted the first 777-200LR at the STS Aviation Services (“STS”) facility in Manchester, United Kingdom. STS has already commenced the passenger-to-freighter conversion on aircraft (MSN 32222). The STS agreement is strategic for Mammoth for multiple reasons. Manchester provides a convenient location that can easily serve greater Europe and will provide a central product support base for Mammoth customers in that world region.
“STS in Manchester has a highly skilled and available workforce in the UK,” stated Brian McCarthy, Mammoth’s Vice President of Marketing and Sales. “Furthermore, STS offers substantial hangar facilities and services which makes them a perfect provider for a double production line of Mammoth 777-200LRMF and 777-300ERMF conversions.”
Last week, Mammoth announced that it had received the first delivery of the specialized 777-200LRMF Collins Aerospace cargo loading system. Currently, Mammoth has two 777 aircraft in advanced stages of freighter conversion at Mammoth’s modification partner facility, Aspire MRO based in Fort Worth, Texas. Mammoth expects the installation of the first cargo loading system will be completed in September, and then the program will progress to the final stages of the certification process.
