In April this year, Mammoth Freighters' Boeing 777-200LRMF P2F conversion solution received a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), becoming the world's first officially approved 777-200LR conversion solution. The implementation of the project is coordinated by the Administrative Committee of the Qingdao Jiaodong Airport Economic Demonstration Zone and jointly advanced by Qingdao Airport Group and STAECO. It not only expands the business scope of Qingdao's aviation maintenance industry but also further integrates Qingdao into the global widebody freighter conversion industrial chain. It is a milestone in the development of the aviation maintenance industry in Shandong and across China, providing solid support for Qingdao to accelerate its building of an international shipping center. It is of important strategic significance for the province to cultivate new quality productive forces in aviation and shape new advantages in an open economy.

　　About 200 days of conversion, expanding new options for air cargo

　　The aircraft entered China under the customs supervision mode for "goods for repair." After review by Qingdao Jiaodong Airport Customs, it was released against a guarantee. It will undergo conversion in the Shandong Airlines hangar at Qingdao Airport, with the process expected to take about 200 days. The conversion involves specialized and complex work such as airframe structural reinforcement, cargo door cutting and fire protection system reconfiguration. After completion, the aircraft will enter commercial operation as a Boeing 777-200LRMF freighter.
