  • Calculating future demand for freighter aircraft. Are all the 737 NGs going through conversion currently finding operators? 
  • How accurate are P2F donor aircraft values? Which assets make the most sense given cost of conversion and lease rates? How does this impact midlife extension strategy? 
  • Ship visit avoidance: How are engines being managed with conversion? What strategies have proven successful in practice?  
  • Examining the options available for midlife widebody assets. How do these compare with new gen freighters? What do 777x delays mean for the current gen widebody market? 
  • Understanding the scope and nature of supply chain issues. How are these being addressed? Are new parts required or are conversion shops able to focus on USMs?
