Company profile - Euro Atlantic Airways

Portugal-based lease and charter operator euroAtlantic airways is the launch customer for the B767-300 passenger-tofreighter
conversion program offered by M&B conversions, a joint venture of IAI Bedek and Mitsui.
Our company awarded a contract to M&B for the conversion of a single B767-300ER, which became the carrier’s first
freighter.
The aircraft is msn 24086, a CF6-powered, 1989-build unit, formerly operated by Varig and before that by a Canadian
airline.
euroAtlantic airways made a strategic decision
of establishing an air cargo industry within the company,
as Portugal is totally deficient in this type of equipment
and this is a vector of development for the country’s economy.
After many studies and market research of the performance of this airplane,
the results were positive and profitable.
The capabilities of the B767-300 ER Cargo, for the sector of import and export markets
as Portugal, Angola, Brazil and the CPLP countries in general, are quite attractive.
At a distance of 5800 km (3,100 nm) it can carry, 56000 kgs (56Ton) (125 thousand pounds) of
goods and commodities. Increasing the scope for 6900 km (3700 nm) it shows only a
slight drop in capacity, 51000 kgs (51Ton) taking into account that it is a direct flight.
The indicators are very interesting, both for the export and import sector.
euroAtlantic airways is the first company in the World to transform it’s
Boeing 767-300 passenger aircraft into a cargo plane.
For a better assessment of euroAtlantic airways equipment
capabilities and as a simple example, it can transport live
animals, in one of Its twenty four pallets in the cabin,
and it can also load one of the airplane’s engine,
ready to be replaced.
