With the arrival of the A330 P2F aircraft (passenger aircraft converted to cargo aircraft), that will gradually be incorporated into the company's cargo fleet, Avianca Cargo will increase its leading role in the region by increasing its capacity in the export markets of Colombia and Ecuador, and in the import markets to South America from USA. These actions are part of the airline's strategic plan, through which with new projects and routes that are in continuous analysis together with the clients, bets on continuing to strengthen direct connectivity between North America and Latin America.

We reaffirm our commitment to continue promoting the economies of the region, serving as strategic allies of our clients and industries” said Gabriel Oliva, CEO of Avianca Cargo.

“We are proud that Avianca Cargo has selected the A330-300P2F. This new generation freighter will provide Avianca Cargo with a highly efficient and flexible operation based on the proven and technologically advanced A330 Family and will be the right complement to the existing A330-200F fleet., benefiting Avianca Cargo from the advantages of the commonality of the A330 Family”, Arturo Barreira said, President of Airbus Latin America.

Hi Nicolas, This is good news because it shows that regional trade continues to grow. On the other hand, an excellent decision by Avianca Cargo to once again choose the Airbus A330P2F since it is really no longer possible to order new freighters since the launch was not successful for Airbus and waiting until the Airbus A350Fs go into production will take time..
I say this because the A330P2F will not have zero kilometers in terms of their operating cycles when already used. Likewise, the MAS subsidiary of LATAM has already done.
The A330Fs are still my favourites, with the B777Fs being the most efficient as freighters..
thanks for this news, best regards.
Thank you very much Carlos for your contribution.. Agree, waiting for new planes takes time and is also more expensive as an additional fact.
Totally true Nicholas, the cost issue is a determining point.
As we have mentioned, the Airbus A330P2F are gaining ground in the freighter world.. Egypt Air was once the launch customer for its A330-200 and today Avianca Cargo, More especially, they are already giving a new life in Latin America to these high performance and safety aircraft.. We know that Mas is a subsidiary of LATAM Cargo and it rented MD-11s months ago, operating in Quito, for example.. But do you know if LATAM Cargo is considering the possibility of incorporating A330P2F as a complement to its Boeing 767F fleet?? Before LAN operated B777F and reduced its business but today it seems to be growing again….
No, LATAM is 100% Boeing 767 and continues to incorporate more of these planes for cargo.
Ok Nicolas and thanks for the information.
