The Federal Aviation Administration has granted Aeronautical Engineers ETOPS 120 approval for its B737-400/-300SF freighter-conversion. This approval validates the AEI freighter-conversion STC on ETOPS-approved 737-400 and 737-300 aircraft. The ETOPS 120 approval allows the B737-400/-300SF freighter to fly 120-minute extended operations over water and remote regions.
“This latest ETOPS approval on our B737-400SF and B737-300SF freighter opens up additional
markets for our leasing and cargo airline customers and provides them with additional operational
flexibility,” said Robert T. Convey, senior vice president of sales and marketing for AEI.
AEI has designed this unique flexibility to allow cargo operators to immediately adapt to multiple
ULD configurations at a moment's notice. When combined with proven reliability, the AEI
converted B737-400/-300SF will allow operators to keep their aircraft “in the air, generating revenue”.
