Telair International AB has received certification for its new Flexible Loading System™ (FLS) for all current production and in-service Boeing 737 aircraft. The system allows 737 operators to carry containerized cargo (baggage, mail, and parcel freight) in the lower hold of the aircraft, along with bulk-loaded bags. Commercial aviation lessor GECAS will offer the new Flexible Loading System to GECAS' 737-800 freighter conversion customers on aircraft entering service this year. As announced at last year's Paris Airshow, GECAS plans to convert 30 737-800s to freighters, with deliveries beginning in 2018.
