Spanish cargo airline Swiftair has signed a lease agreement with mega-lessor AerCap for two Airbus A321 aircraft converted from passenger configuration to carry freight containers. Swifair has 43 aircraft, most of which are freighters, but the A321 is a new aircraft type for the company. Swiftair said the airplanes will replace older aircraft in the fleet and fly on behalf of an international logistics customer. Swiftair’s fleet includes 21 ATR 42 and ATR 72 aircraft, nine legacy Boeing 737 and seven 737-800s converted freighters and three Boeing 757 converted freighters, according to aviation databases.
