GA Telesis (GAT) has reported that its freighter conversion strategy continues to grow with six additional firm orders for B737-800SF cargo conversions with Aeronautical Engineers (AEI). This further commitment was executed by GAT's LIFT (Leasing, Investments, Finance and Trading) Group (LIFT) and represents the third incremental order by LIFT, bringing the total deliveries and conversion slots for the B737-800SF to 12.
The conversions under the additional order will commence in early 2022 and continue through early 2023. All work will be performed by authorised AEI conversion centres in the U.S. and abroad. In addition, LIFT will continue to evaluate additional B737SF slots and other freighter aircraft models to support the global air cargo industry's expanding main deck freighter needs.
