In this episode, hear from Boon Keng Tan, senior vice president, general manager and head of aircraft and freighter leasing at ST Engineering.In 2021, ST set up Juniper Aviation Investments, a joint venture with the Singaporean state-owned investment company Temasek, to focus on developing a freighter leasing portfolio that specializes in narrowbodies.Juniper has delivered four A321-200Fs and one A320-200F to date, with more in the pipeline. All were converted with EFW, in which ST holds a majority share.“EFW conversion slots are fully booked until 2026, and that speaks for itself when it comes to demand for this platform,” Tan said. “So, it’s very active and still healthy today. At the modification sites we have, the conversion work is still ongoing nose to tail, so it’s busy out there.”Juniper provided the prototype aircraft for EFW’s conversion line at the VT San Antonio Aerospace facility and, more recently, the Haite facility in Tianjin, China (TSN), which cut metal last month.Tune in to this week’s podcast as Cargo Facts Editor Jeff Lee speaks with Tan on A320 and A321 freighters.
