Overview
- AerCap confirmed on December 1 that it delivered the first of three Boeing 777-300ERSF freighters to Fly Meta on November 21.
- The aircraft will be flown under a CMI arrangement by Air Atlanta Icelandic using the Hungary Air brand, marking the first use of this type between APAC and EMEA routes.
- As the first passenger-to-freighter conversion of the 777-300ER, the model received FAA and CAAi approval on August 31 and entered commercial service in mid-September.
- AerCap cites roughly 25% more capacity than smaller twin‑engine long‑haul freighters, positioning the type for cost efficiency and range advantages.
- Remaining Fly Meta deliveries are scheduled for Q2 and Q4 2026, and the company says the fleet will target e‑commerce, express and specialty cargo markets.
