Up to 20 aircraft can be converted each year at EFW. By April 2005, EADS had delivered 125 converted Airbus aircraft to 26 customers, including package courier services, air-freight companies, aircraft hire companies, and government agencies throughout the world. EFW has airworthiness certificates from the USA, Europe and other countries required for the converted aircraft developed, produced and maintained in Dresden. After all structural and system components that are no longer required - such as seats or floor structures - have been removed from the aircraft, the new cargo kits are assembled. These exclusively comprise components authorized by Airbus (OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer). |
