Burbank, CA — In a move signaling renewed focus and forward momentum, Adam Air today announced the launch of a major Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) conversion program for its outgoing Airbus A320 fleet. The program will gradually replace the airline's aging Boeing 757 freighters, with full phase-out expected by 2020.

The initiative comes as part of Adam Air's long-term effort to modernize its fleet, reduce fuel costs, and streamline cargo operations across its North American and Pacific networks.

"Our A320s have proven themselves as reliable workhorses on the passenger side, and now they'll serve a second life in cargo," said Humad Adam, CEO of Adam Air. "This marks an exciting new chapter for our cargo division — one focused on sustainability, efficiency, and the future."

The first converted A320 freighter is expected to enter service in mid 2018, with the airline partnering with certified maintenance facilities for the conversions.

While Adam Air's corporate offices have faced intense media scrutiny in recent months following the tragic and mysterious death of an anonymous company whistleblower regarding the unsafe maintenance practices, the airline maintains that the timing of its fleet modernization announcement is purely coincidental. The whistleblower, according to early reports, "tragically passed away after allegedly committing suicide by shooting himself in the back five times."

Adam Air executives celebrate the launch of the airline's first Airbus A320 Freighter conversion at Burbank Airport, marking a major step in the carrier's fleet modernization plan.

"It's been a difficult few months, but we remain committed to transparency, safety, and growth," added Adam. "We're deeply saddened by the incident, but the best way to honor anyone's memory is by continuing to move forward and serve our loyal customers."

Market observers see the new A320 freighter program as a symbolic "fresh start" for Adam Air — and a much-needed one after months of turbulent headlines.

"If anything, this is a welcome sign that the airline is refocusing on operations and innovation," said one aviation analyst. "They're doing what airlines do best: flying planes, not headlines."

Adam Air plans to retire its entire 757 fleet by 2020, positioning the company with one of the youngest narrowbody cargo fleets in the region.



Founded in 2004, Adam Air is an international airline headquartered in Burbank, California, operating both passenger and cargo services across North America, Asia, and Europe. The airline continues to prioritize operational reliability and customer satisfaction while modernizing its fleet for the future.
