US-Based Mammoth Freighters Partners With Chinese Firm For Wide-Body Conversion
Qingdao, a city in East China’s Shandong Province, has become the Asia-Pacific’s sole Boeing 777 freighter conversion hub, with US-based Mammoth Freighters establishing a production line in partnership with Taikoo (Shandong) Aircraft Engineering Co. The first production line is set to start operation in September, with the second expected to come online in 2027. This development is expected to fill a technological gap in China’s aviation maintenance industry and provide strong backing for the high-quality development of the province’s aviation maintenance sector, as reported by Global Times.
