Reflecting on the accomplishment, Marcic emphasizes how the experience gained from the first European-converted Boeing 767-300 has allowed the team to enhance their methodology and meticulously address every aspect of the conversion process.
As the only MRO in Europe completing passenger-to-cargo conversion, we are proud to have reached this tremendous milestone through our collective efforts. Looking ahead, we are excited to take on our next project, which is the third conversion of the Boeing 767-300 right here in JAT Tehnika’s hangar, stated Marcic.
