The landing of the Boeing 777 P2F project is an important practice for Qingdao to implement its aviation maintenance industry development plan and expand high-value-added businesses. The project will effectively fill a technological gap in China's aviation maintenance industry, drive the aviation industry to extend from traditional maintenance services to "conversion + delivery + operational support," help domestic and international cargo airlines accelerate fleet expansion, and drive the coordinated development of related businesses such as regional aviation maintenance, parts supply and aviation logistics, creating conditions for the clustering of related resources, supporting enterprises and professional talent. According to the plan, Mammoth Freighters will deploy two production lines in Qingdao. The first has now officially begun operation, and the second is expected to be completed and put into use in 2027. As subsequent production lines are built and capacity is released, Qingdao's aviation maintenance industry is expected to enhance its capability to convert more aircraft types and further extend the industrial chain.

　　Since Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport was relocated five years ago, the aviation industry in Qingdao's airport economic zone has gained clustering momentum. A total of 89 major projects, including COSCO Shipping Air Transport and China Post, have been launched. The foreign trade volume of the airport comprehensive bonded zone has grown at an average annual rate of 78 percent, and an aviation industry represented by air transport, aviation maintenance and aviation training has begun to take shape.
