Commercial Jet Converts AEI's 400th Freighter Conversion

MIAMI, FL—(Marketwired – Jan 28, 2015) – Commercial Jet is proud to announce that it had the honor of modifying Aeronautical Engineers, Inc. (AEI) 400th freighter conversion. The 11 pallet position B737-400SF (MSN 25105) was converted at Commercial Jet’s Miami, Florida facility and delivered to TNT Airways S.A., in mid-December of 2014. Commercial Jet provided all of the touch labor for the passenger-to-freighter conversion, performed heavy maintenance and painted the aircraft.

TNT Airways 737/757 Fleet Manager Luc Cludts said, " During all the years in aviation I have witnessed a lot of companies working on one of the aircraft I was responsible for, but it was a very long time ago that I saw a team of people working together very motivated and with a lot of enthusiasm trying to achieve an on time departure, which they eventually did."

David Sandri, President of Commercial Jet, said, “I am extremely proud of the entire Commercial Jet team for their clearly demonstrated dedication in pleasing such a distinguished company as TNT Airways.” He added, “As an authorized AEI Conversion Center, we look forward to successfully serving the needs of AEI’s end customers in the future.”

To date, Commercial Jet has completed over 100 freighter conversions of varying aircraft platforms for AEI. The company is currently converting the conformity aircraft for AEI’s new CRJ200 SF freighter program.
