Mammoth Freighters LLC has announced that it has received certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its 777-200LRMF, marking a major milestone in the company’s expansion of next- generation widebody freighter solutions.
FAA certification validates the aircraft’s design, engineering, and performance, clearing the 777- 200LRMF for commercial service. The platform delivers a compelling combination of long-range capability, payload efficiency, and operational reliability, positioning it as a highly versatile solution for global cargo networks.
“This certification reflects years of disciplined engineering, close collaboration with the FAA, and the dedication of our entire team and partners,” said Bill Tarpley, Chief Executive Officer of Mammoth Freighters. “Approval of the 777-200LRMF underscores the strength of our technical approach and our ability to deliver a high-performance freighter that meets the evolving demands of cargo operators worldwide.”
“As the launch customer for the 777-200LRMF, this milestone marks an important moment for both Mammoth Freighters and Jetran,” said Jordan Jaffe, CEO, Jetran. “From the outset, we have had strong confidence in the Mammoth engineering team and their vision for the program. The aircraft’s quality and technical execution have met our high expectations and reflect the strength of the underlying design. We believe the Mammoth conversion will be a competitive and compelling option in the long-haul freighter market and will deliver solid value for Jetran’s customers including DHL, Qatar Airways and Ethiopian Airlines.”
“The FAA’s approval of the 777-200LRMF underscores the success of the company we began building five years ago and validates Mammoth Freighters’ world-class engineering and disciplined capital investment,” added Drew McKnight, Co-CEO and Managing Partner at Fortress Investment Group. “This certification is a great example of private industry collaborating with the FAA to strengthen American aviation and build a great American company. With a fully integrated U.S.-based production platform, Mammoth Freighters is built to meet sustained global demand for freight aircraft in the decades ahead. We’re proud of the Mammoth Freighters team and look forward to supporting their continued success.”
The 777-200LRMF program builds on the proven Boeing 777 platform and incorporates Mammoth’s proprietary conversion design. Key features include the largest main-deck cargo door in its class, a reinforced floor structure, and an advanced, flexible cargo handling system. Combined with its long-range performance and fuel efficiency, the aircraft is optimized for both long-haul and regional freight operations.
With certification complete, Mammoth is positioned to begin aircraft deliveries and entry into service, further strengthening its growing portfolio of passenger-to-freighter (P2F) solutions. The company continues to make progress on its 777-300ERMF program and expects FAA certification of that variant later this year.
