McCann FitzGerald LLP advises Jetran, L.L.C. in the sale of five Boeing 777-200 LRMF aircraft to Qatar Airways Group
As a consequence of this transaction, Qatar Airways’ cargo division will be the launch customer for the innovative Boeing 777-200 LRMF freighter conversion programme established by US based Mammoth Freighters. We are pleased to have advised Jetran, L.L.C., a Texas-based leader in aircraft leasing, sales and aviation services, in its agreements with Qatar Airways in relation to these aircraft.
The signing of this transaction follows shortly after the successful completion of the initial test flight of its 777-200LRMF prototype freighter. The prototype aircraft, now registered as N705DN, took to the skies following an extensive and rigorous conversion process at Mammoth’s modification partner facility, Aspire MRO, in Fort Worth, Texas. “Witnessing the successful completion of the 777-200LRMF’s initial test flight was both exciting and reassuring,” said Jetran’s CEO, Jordan Jaffe. “The aircraft exceeded expectations and reinforced our confidence in Mammoth’s engineering and conversion capabilities. We’re proud to have Qatar Airways Cargo play such a prominent role as launch customer for this groundbreaking program and look forward to its certification and entry into service.”
Mark Drusch, Chief Officer Cargo at Qatar Airways Cargo commented: “As the launch customer of the Mammoth 777-200LRMF converted freighter, Qatar Airways Cargo proudly continues to lead global trade as the world’s largest air freight carrier. This additional freighter capacity will be instrumental in advancing our fleet growth and expanding the premium cargo services we provide to customers worldwide. The growth of our fleet with the Mammoth 777s reflects our commitment to operating the largest freighter network and fleet in the industry.”
The McCann FitzGerald team was led by Ronan Murphy and Gavin Barrett.
