Miami, Florida – April 9th, 2015 – Aeronautical Engineers, Inc. (AEI) is pleased to announce that it has delivered the 50th B737-400SF 11 pallet position freighter conversion. The aircraft built in 1992 (MSN 26437) is a high gross weight B737-400 and was delivered to Ypsilanti, Michigan based Kalitta Charters. This represents an important milestone in AEI’s freighter conversion history. Orders continue to remain strong as AEI has another 15 B737-400SF freighters on order for this year. The aircraft was converted at Commercial Jet’s Dothan, Alabama facility.

The AEI B737-400SF is the only passenger to freighter conversion product that offers operators ten full height 88” x 125” container positions. This unique capability is achievable due to AEI’s Main Deck Cargo Door location which is approximately 40” further back than the competition. The additional container position increases AEI’s volumetric carrying capability by 10% which places the freighter in a class by itself.

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 Kalitta to keep their aircraft – “In the air, generating revenue”.
