Mark Drusch, Chief Officer Cargo at Qatar Airways Cargo, commented: “As the launch customer of the Mammoth 777-200LRMF converted freighter, Qatar Airways Cargo proudly continues to lead global trade as the world’s largest air freight carrier. This additional freighter capacity will be instrumental in advancing our fleet growth and expanding the premium cargo services we provide to customers worldwide. The growth of our fleet with the Mammoth 777s reflects our commitment to operating the largest freighter network and fleet in the industry.
Mammoth Freighters has also announced the successful completion of the initial test flight of its 777-200LRMF prototype freighter. The prototype aircraft, now registered as N705DN, took to the skies following an extensive and rigorous conversion process at Mammoth’s modification partner facility, Aspire MRO, in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Mammoth 777-200LRMF features the advanced Collins Aerospace cargo loading system, specifically optimized for the 777 passenger-to-freighter market. This system, developed over three years of close collaboration, ensures high levels of parts commonality and operational reliability—attributes already proven on 777 production freighters worldwide.
Currently, Mammoth has seven 777-200/-300 aircraft undergoing conversion: 5 at Aspire MRO in Fort Worth, Texas, and 2 at STS Aviation Services in Manchester, UK. The company holds firm orders for 35 freighter conversions across a diverse portfolio of customers.
