January 28, 2020

Aeronautical Engineers has signed a contract with New Zealand-based Airwork to provide the company with an additional B737-400SF freighter conversion.

The aircraft (MSN 28702) represents the 12th AEI B737-400SF freighter conversion for Airwork. All modification touch labour and maintenance will be performed by Commercial Jet’s facility in Miami, Florida and will commence in early February.

Commercial Jet is the sole authorised AEI Conversion Center to provide modification touch labor for all prior Airwork B737-400SF conversions. AEI’s B737-400SF shall provide Airwork with a highly flexible Ancra CLS capable of carrying multiple ULD’s including: (10) 88”x125” ULDs in P1 to P10 or (8) 96”x125” in P1 to P10 and (1) 53”x88”x64” Pallet or AEP/AEH or 60.4”x61.5” AKE/LD3 or 61.5”x88”x56”H AYY in P11

This unique flexibility has been designed by AEI to allow cargo operators to immediately adapt to multiple ULD configurations at a moment’s notice. When combined with proven reliability, the AEI-converted B737-400SF will allow Airwork to keep their aircraft in the air.
