GLOBAL Crossing Airlines Group has signed a definitive agreement with Icelease to convert an Airbus A321 into a freighter to be leased to GlobalX for eight years, reports London's Air Cargo News.
The aircraft (MSN 2840) is currently flown by GlobalX in passenger configuration and will be converted at a Precision Aircraft Solutions facility in October 2023.
It is expected to be placed into freighter service by April 2024. GlobalX declared it helped arrange for the sale of the aircraft from Magnetic Leasing to Icelease to facilitate the conversion agreement.
Said GlobalX chairman Ed Wegel: 'We are delighted to be working with Icelease. They understand our business, think creatively and move decisively.'
GlobalX flies as a passenger ACMI and charter airline serving the US, Caribbean, and Latin American markets. However, it has been investing in P2F aircraft to move into the cargo market.
