Overview
- AerCap delivered the first of three Boeing 777-300ERSF conversions to Hong Kong-based Fly Meta on November 21, with two more scheduled for Q2 and Q4 2026.
- The aircraft will be operated under a Crew, Maintenance and Insurance contract by Air Atlanta under the Hungary Air brand, marking a lease-and-CMI deployment model.
- Air Atlanta Europe has taken the aircraft from Fly Meta; registry data lists it as 9H-JJB, converted by Israel Aerospace Industries in Tel Aviv and deregistered from the U.S. on November 21.
- AerCap says this partnership will be the first to use the 777-300ERSF between Asia-Pacific and the EMEA region, with Budapest planned as a base for routes to mainland China and Hong Kong.
- The 777-300ERSF, certified by the FAA and CAAi on August 31 and in service since mid-September, follows initial commercial entry with Kalitta Air and offers roughly 25% more capacity than smaller twin long‑haul freighters.
