JERUSALEM, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- The government company Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) on Wednesday said it will establish a Boeing passenger-to-cargo conversion facility in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
According to its statement, IAI has signed an agreement with the UAE flag carrier Etihad Airways to establish the site for converting 777-300ER passenger aircraft to the 777-300ERSF freighters.
The facility will operate from Etihad Airways Engineering's maintenance center at Abu Dhabi International Airport.
It will supply a solution for the global rise in demand for cargo jets of this model, the statement said.
At the new conversion center, passenger planes will be converted to cargo configuration, and maintenance, renovation and overhaul services will be supplied.
Israel and the UAE have signed a normalization agreement at the White House on Sept. 15, 2020. Enditem
