N820CM

This airframe, registered as N820CM, is an Airbus-built airliner originally delivered in 2004 with manufacturer's serial number 0641. It is an Airbus A330-302 (converted A330-300F) airframe, owned by CARGO AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT INC (a corporation based in Wilmington, OH, US) and carries a US registration. The airframe was built as a high-density passenger A330 and is documented as having 451 seats in FAA/registry listings; it underwent a passenger-to-freighter conversion (P2F) during 2024–2025, a notable registry action that redefined its mission and configuration. Historical operational operators are not listed; ownership is corporate and the owner’s location indicates Wilmington, Ohio as the administrative base.

The aircraft was built as a passenger Airbus A330-302 with a cabin originally certified for 451 seats before its conversion to freighter configuration. Following the 2024–2025 P2F conversion, the interior layout and structure were modified to accommodate cargo operations rather than passenger service; specific freighter cargo system details are not published in the provided data. Typical mission profiles for the converted A330-300F platform include medium- to long-range intercontinental cargo routes within the aircraft’s 6,350 nm range, operating at typical cruise speeds near 470 kts and ceilings up to 41,100 ft. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe will reflect its age (first delivery 2004) and the recent conversion work completed during 2024–2025.

The A330-300 airframe, in its freighter-converted form, occupies a niche for operators seeking a widebody medium- to long-range freighter with high payload and range capability; the listed specifications (range 6,350 nm, cruise 470 kts) align with that role. Competing types in similar missions include other twin-engine widebody freighters and converted passenger-to-freighter platforms, with buyer demand driven by cargo network growth and fleet replacement cycles. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will hinge on the quality and scope of the P2F conversion, the condition after two decades in service since 2004, and the provenance of its CF6-80E1A4 engines.
