Mas Air (M7, México City Int’l) has announced it signed an agreement with Altavair to dry-lease two P2F-converted A330-200s with deliveries scheduled for the first quarter of 2022. The Mexican carrier did not provide the identity of the two aircraft. Mas Air said it was hoping to use the aircraft for ACMI operations. It selected the -200 variant over the A330-300(P2F) due to its longer range, which will permit its deployment on services to China, among other destinations. The carrier previously told Cargo Facts that it was seeking to diversify its all-B767 fleet to include types with different range and payload specifications in order to better cater to diverse market needs. The ch-aviation fleets advanced module shows that the Mexican cargo specialist, until 2018 owned by LATAM Airlines Group and known as LATAM Cargo Mexico, currently operates one B767-200(SF), one B767-300(ERBDSF), and one B767-300F on routes in Latin America and to the United States, as well as occasionally to Frankfurt Int’l. Altavair owns twenty-six A330-200s, including sixteen it acquired in 2020 from Etihad Airways, the ch-aviation fleets ownership module shows. All 26 units are currently in storage. The lessor also owns a single A330-200F placed with Air Hong Kong.
