17 and a big one. We just re-delivered our first A330P2F modified at our conversion partner in Guangzhou, China. This first A330 was inducted at our partner this year in May and went through all conversion phases smoothly well supported by our engineering and further teams in Dresden, Germany as well as by several other parties. The aircraft is soon to be transferred and to be operated on its new mission: carrying lots of express cargo! Prior to the A330P2F, the team at our partner performed already 17 Airbus Passenger-to-Freighter conversions of the standard body aircraft A321P2F. We would like to take the opportunity to thank all team who contributed to the successful completion of the first A330 P2F conversion at our partner in Guangzhou. #EFW #Elbeflugzeugwerke #A330P2F #A321P2F #conversion #aircargo #freight #freighter Airbus Aircraft ST Engineering Felix Schmieder Hendrik Nötzold Stephanie Aeschlimann Marian Völkel

Unsere Mitarbeiterkids sind wahre Vorbilder! – Nachhaltigkeit bei @EFW🌍 In unserem ersten Ferienworkshop bei EFW hatten unsere Mitarbeiterkinder die Chance, gemeinsam mit Michaela Koschak, unserem Radio- und TV-Profi, auf spielerische Art die 17 Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung (Sustainable Development Goals - SGDs) kennenzulernen. Während Mama oder Papa fleißig bei EFW arbeiteten, haben die Kids Plakate gestaltet und gemeinsam mit Michaela in eigenen Worten die 17 SGDs vertont. Die 17 SDGs, verabschiedet von den Vereinten Nationen, wurden im Rahmen der #Agenda2030 zur Bekämpfung globaler Herausforderungen wie Armut, Hunger, Bildung und Umweltschutz verabschiedet. Unsere Kinder haben diese Themen auf ihre eigene, erfrischende Weise aufgegriffen – und tragen die Ideen weiter, in ihre Familien und Freundeskreise. Dabei erinnern sie uns Erwachsene daran, wie wichtig es ist, gemeinsam an einer besseren Zukunft zu arbeiten. Jetzt seid ihr dran! Lasst euch von unseren kleinen Vorbildern motivieren und entdeckt, wie auch ihr die Welt ein Stückchen besser machen könnt. Neugierig? Dann hört auf Youtube in unsere Playlist rein (link siehe unten) und scannt die QR Codes.

You don't have to be a doctor to save lives! Every day, 15,000 blood donations are urgently needed in Germany: for acute aid in accidents, cancer treatment, operations and much more. A blood transfusion is the only chance of survival for many people. Despite scientific advances, blood cannot be produced or replaced artificially. In order to support affected people, we have been organizing blood donation campaigns together with the German Red Cross (DRK) for many years. These take place four times a year at EFW. We provide suitable rooms, enable the team to donate during working hours and coordinate appointments. The Red Cross supports with professional medical staff, equipment and ensures the logistics. This makes it easy for employees to donate blood and save lives - because every single donation counts. A whole blood donation involves taking 500ml of blood, which a healthy person can reproduce in just over two weeks. In 2024, we supported the Red Cross with a total of around 190 blood donations. In our most recent event this year end of November, over 50 team members joined. A big Thank you to all of our EFW team members who donate blood for other people! We look forward to the commitment of our team in upcoming campaigns. #EFW #Elbeflugzeugwerke DRK Landesverband Sachsen e.V. #team #Blutspende Carsten Teich Guido Prodehl Kai Mielenz

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
