Air Transport Services Group announced the delivery of its first A321 passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to Warsaw Cargo, an emerging air cargo operator based in Warsaw, Poland.
The A321-200PCF is a highly capable narrowbody freighter that brings modern efficiency and versatility to regional air cargo networks. Converted through 321 Precision Conversions, a joint venture of ATSG, the aircraft features containerised main deck cargo capability, excellent fuel efficiency, and a payload capacity of up to 27 tons. Its design makes it particularly well-suited for time-sensitive shipments in high-density, short-to-medium-haul markets.
“ATSG continues to grow its global leasing fleet with high-performance, fuel-efficient aircraft, providing flexible, reliable aircraft solutions tailored to our clients’ operational goals,” said Todd France, Chief Commercial Officer of ATSG. “This delivery represents another milestone in our international growth strategy and supports Warsaw Cargo’s vision to expand reliable cargo service across Europe.”
Warsaw Cargo specialises in flexible ACMI and charter solutions for both short- and long-term cargo operations. The addition of the A321 freighter to its fleet will allow the carrier to enhance service across Europe and adjacent regions, meeting growing demand for regional express and e-commerce cargo.
“As a new cargo carrier, we’re focused on building a strong foundation with the right partners and the right equipment,” said Jarosław Chłopecki, Chief Executive Officer of Warsaw Cargo. “This A321 freighter allows us to launch operations with a reliable, efficient aircraft platform, and ATSG’s expertise and support have been instrumental. We’re excited to meet the growing demand for regional cargo service across Europe.”
