Freighter Conversions
Transforming passenger aircraft into cargo powerhouses with Spectre’s proven conversion expertise.
Converted freighters offer a cost-effective, flexible, and sustainable solution for cargo operators, especially in a growing air freight market. They are particularly appealing for carriers looking to quickly expand their fleet with minimal financial risk, while still achieving reliable and competitive performance.
Benefits of Freighter Conversions
Lower Acquisition Cost
Converted freighters are significantly cheaper than new production freighters. The cost of purchasing and converting an older passenger aircraft is often 40–70% less than buying a new freighter.
Reduced Financial Risk
Lower initial investment reduces the financial burden, making conversions more attractive to smaller operators or startups.
Shorter Lead Times / Faster Delivery
Converting an existing passenger aircraft into a freighter typically takes 3–6 months, depending upon the model, while the lead time for new production aircraft can be several years due to limited manufacturing slots.
Flexibility for Market Demand
Operators can quickly add capacity to meet rising cargo demand without waiting for a new aircraft.
Fleet Commonality and Availability
Abundance of feedstock passenger aircraft: During normal industry cycles, there are numerous airlines retiring older passenger models (e.g., Boeing 737s, 757s, and Airbus A321s) so there is a steady supply of aircraft for conversion
Operational Synergies
Using converted freighters based on existing passenger aircraft models ensures maintenance and operational consistency for airlines already operating those types.
Comparable Payload and Range Capabilities
Modern conversions such as Boeing 777-200LR/300ER, 767-300ER, 737-800, Airbus A330-300 and A321-200 offer payload and range capabilities that are competitive with new production freighters.
Environmental and Sustainability Benefits
Repurposing existing aircraft extends the service life of older passenger aircraft which reduces the environmental impact of manufacturing a new aircraft.
Fuel Efficiency Improvements
Many conversions incorporate weight-saving modifications and aerodynamically optimized features, improving operational efficiency.
Lower Depreciation Rates
Converted freighters tend to have lower depreciation compared to new production aircraft, which helps operators maintain better asset value over time.
Proven Reliability
Tested airframes. Aircraft chosen for conversion typically have proven reliability records and well-documented maintenance histories, reducing operational risks.
