ST Aerospace redelivers first converted 757-200 to RNZAF

Singapore Technologies Aerospace redelivered the first of two 757-200 aircraft to the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF). In November 2005, ST Aerospace announced it won a $38 million (about S$52m) contract from the New Zealand Ministry of Defence that involved design, development and conversion to multirole configurations, including a passenger to freighter conversion, an avionics upgrade programme and other modifications to enhance the capability of the two RNZAF 757-200 aircraft in military and remote operating environments.
