National Carrier SriLankan Airlines has extended its support to export industries by converting a passenger aircraft into a full freighter.
In its quest to continuously support Sri Lanka’s export industries and to keep the country connected with the global economy during the COVID-19 pandemic, SriLankan Airlines converted a wide-body passenger aircraft into a dedicated cargo aircraft.
This converted Airbus A330 aircraft will commence operations on 25 June to key destinations in the Far East and Europe.
The aircraft will fly a total of 170 cubic metres of cargo capacity, with an enhanced 60 cubic metres of cargo on its upper deck and 110 cubic metres carried on the lower deck. The total payload of the aircraft will amount to 45 metric tons.
