AEI launches B737-800SF & B737-800C conversion programs

Aeronautical Engineers has formally launched both Passenger to Freighter and Passenger to Combi Conversion Programs for the Boeing 737-800. Both programs have been studied for the past year and will be marketed as B737-800SF (Special Freighter) and B737-800C (Combination Passenger and Freighter). The program development costs are being fully funded by AEI. The modification touch labor will be performed at Commercial Jet’s Miami Florida facility, which is one of five authorized AEI Conversion Centers worldwide. AEI will make both conversions available at all authorized AEI Conversion Centers shortly after issuance of the STC by the FAA and expects the initial development and certification to take two and a half to three years. After the initial FAA STC issuance, AEI plans to certify both conversion programs with the EASA, CAAC, ANAC and Russian authorities.
