Cargo Aircraft Management (CAM), a subsidiary of Air Transport Services Group, has delivered a converted Boeing 767-200 to Malaysian carrier Raya Airways to be leased under a five-year contract.
The aircraft is the second Boeing 767-200 freighter that Raya Airways has leased from CAM and put into service.
ATSG said that though dry leasing, it provides its customers with the opportunity to cost-effectively grow capacity to meet market demands.
The Boeing 767 meanwhile is, according to ATSG, a leader in converted dry leasing.
