SmartLynx Airlines has ordered six A321-200(P2F)s from Elbe Flugzeugwerke as it plans to enhance its operations on behalf of DHL Express.

“We are delighted to work with EFW towards our goal of becoming the largest operator of A321 cargo freighters, as we are convinced that this type of aircraft will become the top choice for customers globally,” Chief Executive Zygimantas Surintas said.

“We take these orders as a seal of approval for our A321P2F,” said EFW CEO Andreas Sperl. “We are confident that our P2F programs (A320 and A321) will add value to the operations of customers like SmartLynx.”

Deliveries are scheduled for 2022 and 2023, and all of these aircraft will serve European destinations.
