KANSAS MOD CENTER AND ITS TEAM
The market for a larger, more fuel-efficient freighter conversion is obvious. The Boeing 777-300ER is an ideal choice to meet the need, as rising numbers of the jetliners leave passenger operations after decades of service.
The team at Kansas Mod Center has the experience, expertise, resources, facilities and location to make our B777-300ERCF a reality. We have the agility to have the P2F conversion certified and flying by mid-2024 as promised.
KMC and its key partners are located within minutes of every aspect of the conversion process, fostering communication, efficiency and a trusted supply chain. We have and leverage deep legacy connections in the industry.

The Bigger Picture
The end result of Kansas Mod Center’s conversion program is, of course, a cost-effective 777-300ERCF that flies farther on less fuel. But the goal is broader than that.
IT’S A PROJECT
