Boeing forecasts 920 new freighters by 2036, but integrators opt for conversions

It’s Paris Air Show week, and thus fairly quiet in air cargo – outside of the big manufacturer announcements. The main freighter news so far is that UPS has opted for three 767 passenger aircraft and has tasked Boeing Converted Freighters with adapting them. And DHL Express has chosen to order four more A330-300 conversions from ST Aerospace subsidiary Elbe Flugzeugwerke. ACN has the latest from Paris, where new manufacturers are vying with the legacy league for orders.
