Astral Aviation To Operate The First A320P2F Aircraft

Astral Aviation (8V) – Nairobi, Kenya announces plans to operate the world’s first Airbus A320 Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) aircraft – on sub-lease from Vaayu Group. The first of two aircraft to be added to the Astral Aviation fleet is currently under conversion by ST Engineering and expected to be placed on lease in the second quarter of 2022.

We are truly honored to be the launch operator for the A320P2F which is also the first Airbus in Astral’s fleet of 14 freighter aircraft. The Airbus range of freighter aircraft are impressive and will add immense value to Astral’s fleet and network expansion, which will result in Astral considering future freighter aircraft acquisitions of the A320, A321, A330-300 and A350. – Sanjeev Gadhia, CEO, Astral Aviation.
