This year’s conversion market activity is expected to be “on a more normal level” compared to 2023, IBA Group has reported.

Cargo capacity demand during the pandemic drove conversion activity and this continued last year despite a slump in air cargo demand.

Narrowbody conversions make up the majority of growth in the market, said the aviation data, intelligence and advisory company during its recent ‘IBA Insight: How are Freighter Values Performing?’ webinar.

But the market could face an oversupply, primarily because of too many 737-800 converted freighter aircraft
