A NEW 737-300 CONVERSION PROGRAM

摘要

PEMCO World Air Services, in partnership with Canada-based Kelowna Flightcraft, is in the late stages of developing a multi-configuration 737-300 conversion program to meet the needs of Yellowknife-based carrier Canadian North, which has for some time been looking for a way to replace its four aging 737-200C aircraft. The conversion will be based on several 737-300 STCs already held by PEMCO (large cargo door, cargo floor, Class E cargo compartment, smoke detection system), plus a new STC being developed by the PEMCO/Kelowna Flightcraft partnership. It is this last modification that will allow the converted aircraft to offer four configurations: all-cargo, all-passenger, plus two combi configurations with 30 and 86 seats, respectively. Cargo specifications for the various configurations have not been made public, but Cargo Facts believes that the basic all-cargo configuration will accommodate eight full-size (88 × 125 inch) pallets.
