A320 Frieghter

I have a couple of requests recently for an A320 freighter,

According to this news article from March of this year it sounds like there currently are no converted A320-F's in service yet

https://theloadstar.com/a320f-on-approa ... -throttle/

that said that "The A320 is still at least two years from entering the market"

One person who has submitted an 'add aircraft' request used this link as support.

But I can find no evidence that they have actually converted any aircraft.

Just wanted to start a conversation on the subject so we can decide what to do.

Not sure if those orders were actually filled or not.

That's the impression I got also, I could not find someone actually operating a converted A320. From the first article I posted, it sounds like the operators are more interested in A321's and B737-800's, because the volume is bigger, they compared the A320 to a B737-700 that has a smaller cabin and has not generated as much attention from the operators. But with all the surplus A320-200's around these days I am sure it's only a matter of time before someone does it.
