We joined Aviation Forum 2024!   How AI will transform blue-collar work? That’s what workshop participants and panelists like our Head of Digital Transformation discussed. Some key topics have been:   ✈️ Enhancing productivity and safety: AI optimizing processes and reducing risks. ✈️ Skill development: AI supporting education and daily tasks of employees. ✈️ Human-AI collaboration: is balancing efficiency with employee satisfaction. ✈️ Evolving roles: AI transforming job profiles and necessary skills   As key takeaways we can summarize: ✅ Companies can utilize AI to enhance the capabilities of employees, mitigating issues such as skilled labor shortages and fostering a more collaborative and supportive work environment. ✅ Adopting an employee-centric approach that leverages AI to tackle daily pain points can free up capacities and allow blue-collar workers to focus on more value-adding tasks. ✅ Practical approaches, including personalized training programs on the usage of artificial intelligence, are crucial for preparing employees for the future of work, ensuring they are well-equipped to thrive in an AI-enhanced workplace.   What about the NextGen Aviation Leadership? Talents of today become leaders of tomorrow - so we joined the according initiative "NextGen Aviation Leadership" which is empowering young professionals with knowledge, experience, and relationships.   During this event alongside with Aviation Forum young leaders and talents from EFW met others of the aviation industry joining this platform for mutual exchange and built further their own network with other companies and industry segments for collaborative work and for driving change in the industry.   Looking forward seeing you next time at the Aviation Forum!

We singned just lately with HNA Aviation Group Co., Ltd., a leading aviation player in China, an MOU which covers a strategic cooperation framework agreement for A330P2F conversions. EFW and HNA Aviation Group will commence their collaboration by converting an initial batch of A330 aircraft from HNA Aviation Group’s A330 fleet. The first conversion is scheduled to take place at EFW’s conversion facility in Shanghai in the first half of 2025 with an option to continue with a second aircraft in the second half. The remaining aircraft of the batch will be converted at a subsidiary of HNA Aviation Group in China after the according conversion facility has been set up. "With the rapid recovery of the global aviation logistics market and the booming development of cross-border e-commerce business, the demand for long-range wide-body freighters is increasing", said Ding Yongzheng, Chairman of HNA Aviation Group. "HNA Aviation Group has been operating the A330 fleet on a large scale for many years, with a solid operational foundation. The cooperation with EFW is a cornerstone in achieving mutual benefits, bringing new opportunities and added value to the aviation market." “We are happy to enter into an agreement on A330P2F conversion with HNA Aviation Group, one of the largest aviation groups in China,” said Jordi Boto, CEO of EFW. “We look forward to working with our latest strategic partner to tap the growing Chinese market and beyond, and to better support the growing global demand for air cargo with our widebody P2F solution.” #EFW #Elbeflugzeugwerke #A330P2F #conversion #aircargo #freight #freighter Airbus Aircraft

One hundred - what a milestone! We just re-delivered our number 100 converted freighter aircraft of the new generation of Airbus conversion freighter. The widebody P2F aircraft, an A330P2F, was converted at our partner's site in China. To date, 49 A330P2F, 47 A321P2F and 4 A320P2F converted by EFW have joined the global fleet of Airbus freighter aircraft. Over the past 12 months, the growing global fleet of EFW’s converted freighter aircraft have performed a total flight distance of some 100 million flight kilometres. “The redelivery of our 100th Airbus P2F aircraft is a great milestone that is made possible by working closely together with our programme partners, customers and suppliers as a team,” said Jordi Boto, CEO of EFW. “Over the years, we have steadily built a strong global presence for our Airbus P2F programmes. Today, we have converted aircraft that are registered in all continents, while our P2F aircraft are flying in key regions across the world." “Seeing the growing number of Airbus P2F converted aircraft serving cargo markets around the world on short- and medium-haul routes makes us proud. Each converted freighter aircraft is based upon a proven Airbus platform, providing operators and investors a very appealing option of repurposing passenger aircraft for freight carriage”, highlights Crawford Hamilton, Head of Freighter Marketing at Airbus. #EFW #Elbeflugzeugwerke #P2F #conversion #freighter #aircargo #A321 #A330 #A320 Wolfgang Schmid Hendrik Nötzold Stephanie Aeschlimann Torsten Kuehn Carolin Krause Nicolas Ibarra Kai Mielenz Anke Lemke Kadir PESINCI Mohamed El Sayed Crawford Hamilton Oliver von Tronchin Paul Meijers Andreas Hermann ST Engineering Airbus Airbus Aircraft

It’s firm. We enter into a partnership with MRO Japan (MJP) becoming Japan's first conversion site for our A321P2F conversion aircraft. "We are excited to have MJP join our global network of P2F conversion sites," said Jordi Boto, CEO of EFW. "Collaborating with experienced and well backed aircraft solution providers like MJP supports our capacity for freighter conversions to capture opportunities in the growing Japanese air cargo market." The process of onboarding MJP as EFW’s new modification site involves comprehensive trainings in tooling, engineering, supply chain, industrialization, and quality to ensure operational readiness and excellence. Takashi Takahashi, CEO, MJP, said, “We are truly happy that the new partnership …has been established…We are excited to work with the EFW team...” The signing of the contract took place in Tokyo during the first Airbus and EFW P2F Symposium Japan. #efw #elbeFlugzeugwerke Airbus Aircraft #P2F #A321 #A321P2F MRO Japan 株式会社 Hendrik Nötzold Nicolas Ibarra Stephanie Aeschlimann Torsten Kuehn Carolin Krause Kai Mielenz Anke Lemke Wolfgang Schmid

Wie die Großen von ihren Kleinen lernen!  Im ersten Ferienworkshop bei EFW konnten unsere Mitarbeiterkinder vor kurzem Spannendes erfahren und sich selbst ausprobieren. Es ging um die Zukunft von uns allen, besonders die der Kinder. Im Fokus stand als Thema Nachhaltigkeit. Während Mama oder Papa bei EFW fleißig waren, konnten die Kinder in unserer Ferienbetreuung so richtig was lernen und kreativ sein! Entstanden sind Plakate über die 17 Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung (Sustainable Development Goals) und ganz besonders für alle: Tonaufnahmen von Michaela Koschak, die wir als Radio und TV Profi bei uns hatten. Dabei haben die Kinder die Ziele in eigenen Worten erklärt. Nun kann bald das gesamten EFW Team im Firmengelände per QR Code zuhören, was uns die Kleinen zu sagen haben – und dabei kinderleicht dazu lernen. Natürlich bleibt es nicht dabei, denn die begeisterten Kinder tragen dieses wichtige Thema auch weiter – an Familie und Freunde. Die 17 Nachhaltigkeitsziele wurden 2015 von den United Nations verabschiedet, um globale Herausforderungen wie Armut, Hunger, Bildung und Umweltschutz bis 2030 anzugehen. Sie fördern soziale, wirtschaftliche und ökologische Nachhaltigkeit und setzen auf internationale Zusammenarbeit für eine gerechte Zukunft. Damit wir alle beitragen können, unsere Welt besser zu gestalten, sollten wir diese 17 Ziele kennen – unsere Mitarbeiterkids wissen schonmal bestens Bescheid. Ihr seid neugierig geworden und möchtet selbst auch von unsere Kids lernen? Dann bleibt dran - mehr später bei uns auf linkedin und Instagram. #sustainability #kinder #nachhaltigkeit #luftfahrt #aerospace Kai Mielenz Emily Schlicht Michaela Koschak

The first-ever! This A321P2F registered in Brazil to be operated as the first Airbus conversion freighter in South America just arrived with Azul Cargo. Along with the redelivery to customer AerCap which is leasing the aircraft to Azul Cargo, EFW received the Validation of its STC for A321P2F from Brazilian Aviation Authority ANAC. This is adding an important piece to a puzzle as our conversion programs are now validated by major aviation authorities from all continents, enabling us to offer aircraft conversions, registrations and operations across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia.   Prior to ANAC’s validation of our STC, A321P2F aircraft in the Americas were registered in North America, flying cargo to U.S. destinations as well as several countries in Middle America. The A330P2F, EFW's widebody freighters registered in the Americas, serve primarily domestic routes in the U.S. and Mexico, followed by routes connecting North America with South America and Asia. Over 10% of EFW converted P2F aircraft worldwide in operation are registered in the Americas and have performed over 4.000 flights in the past 12 months. #EFW #Elbeflugzeugwerke Airbus Aircraft #A321P2F #A330P2F #A320P2F #MRO ST Engineering Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras Azul Cargo Express Jan Zöppel Felix Schmieder Stephanie Aeschlimann Hendrik Nötzold Kai Mielenz Anke Lemke Felipe Zboril Dario Matsuguma William Lara Reiltin Power Paul Morris Katharina Wambach Oliver von Tronchin Martin Fendt ANAC - Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil
