The P2F aircraft for Salam Aviation, an aviation consultancy specialising in acquisitions, financing and logistics support, is set to be in service in the coming weeks.

Performed at PEMCO’s headquarters at Tampa International Airport, the conversion was completed in only 90 days, adding to the company’s healthy 2016 on-time record.

Salam Aviation’s, Rami Kayali says: “We chose PEMCO based on their quality, reliability and on-time record, and they sure delivered.

“We look forward to providing our customers with more PEMCO-converted aircraft and our long partnership ahead.”

PEMCO director of conversion programs, Mike Andrews adds: “We’re here to provide our customers with top-quality converted aircraft that deliver unparalleled profits. I’m excited for the opportunity to continue working with Rami and Salam Aviation for years to come.”

The newly PEMCO-converted aircraft features 11 pallet positions, up to 48,000 pounds of payload, and 4,600 cubic feet of total volume.
