On Monday (December 1, 2025), AerCap Holdings announced the delivery of the first of three Boeing 777-300ERSF converted freighters to Hong Kong-based aviation leasing and ACMI/CMI solutions provider Fly Meta Leasing Co., Ltd. The first aircraft was delivered on November 21st, while the second and third are scheduled for delivery in Q2 and Q4 2026, respectively.  The aircraft will be operated under a Crew Maintenance and Insurance (CMI) contract by Air Atlanta Icelandic under the Hungary Air brand. The Boeing 777-300ERSF is the first passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion program of the Boeing 777-300ER.  The aircraft received FAA and CAAI certification on August 31, 2025, and entered service in mid-September.


In Monday’s announcement, AerCap Cargo’s Head, Rich Greener, said,


“We are delighted to deliver the first 777-300ERSF to Fly Meta, in partnership with Air Atlanta Icelandic - the first customer to operate this aircraft type between the APAC and EMEA regions.  With 25% more capacity than today’s smaller twin-engine long-haul freighters, the Big Twin offers significant cost efficiencies, superior range and outstanding operational commonality. I would like to thank the entire Fly Meta, Hungary Air and Air Atlanta teams for their trust in AerCap Cargo and for their partnership.”


Also commenting on the aircraft delivery, Fly Meta’s CEO, Helen Chen, said,


“We are proud to receive our first Boeing 777-300ERSF, which represents a major step forward in Fly Meta’s long-term widebody freighter strategy.  This aircraft will significantly strengthen our cargo corridor and further expand our ability to serve global e-commerce, express and specialty cargo markets.  Together with our partners AerCap, Air Atlanta Icelandic and Hungary Airlines, Fly Meta is building a modern, efficient and scalable widebody freighter platform centered on the 777-300ERSF, 747-400F and upcoming aircraft.  We look forward to bringing additional capacity online in 2026 to meet the fast-growing demand across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.”


Fly Meta was stablished in 2022 by a team of aviation professionals with extensive experience in global cargo operations and aircraft leasing.  Headquartered in Hong Kong with offices in Beijing, the company provides integrated ACMI, CMI and charter solutions to airlines, logistics providers and e-commerce partners worldwide.
