Aeronautical Engineers, Inc. (AEI) announces the company has successfully redelivered CargoAir’s first B737-800SF freighter.
This aircraft also represents the first AEI B737-800SF freighter conversion to be operated in Europe.
AEI received EASA approval for the B737-800SF on May 7, 2021.
In November of last year, CargoAir signed up for two AEI B737-800SF freighter conversions, after
cancelling an agreement for two B737-800BCFs.
The second AEI B737-800SF freighter conversion for CargoAir will commence modification in June and will be performed by the authorized AEI conversion center, Commercial Jet in Miami, Florida.
The AEI converted B737-800SF freighter offers a main deck payload of up to 52,700 lbs. (23,904
kg) and incorporates eleven full height 88” x 125” container positions, plus an additional position
for an AEP/AEH.
The conversion also incorporates new floor beams aft of the wing box, a large
86” x 137” Main Cargo Door with a single vent door system.
