KAHALA AVIATION ORDERS FOUR AEI B737-400SF 11 PALLET CONVERSIONS

MIAMI, FL., -April 23, 2013- Aeronautical Engineers, Inc. (AEI), is pleased to announce that it has been selected by Kahala Aviation of Ireland to provide two firm B737-400SF 11 Pallet Con- figuration conversions, with options for two additional conversions to be started in May of 2013. The first aircraft, a B737-400, MSN 25052 was built in 1991 and will be converted at one of AEI’s North American Conversion Facilities. Both 737-400SF conversions are being converted on spec and are currently available for lease.

Mr. Mark Thatcher, Chief Aircraft Trader for Kahala Aviation stated that “Our decision to convert with AEI was based upon three factors; AEI’s outstanding reputation for quality and customer support, AEI’s 737-400SF having the capability to carry up to 10 full height AAA containers and AEI’s dominant position as the prefered 737-400SF conversion provider.” He goes on to say “These three factors will without a doubt give us an advantage when marketing our AEI 737- 400SF fleet,”

AEI’s 737-400SF shall provide Kahala’s customers with a Main Deck capable of carrying multi- ple ULD’s including:
- (10) 88”x125” AAA Containers/pallets, P1 to P10 or
- (8) 96”x126” ULD’s 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 the operator to immediately adapt to multiple ULD configurations at a moment’s notice. When combined with proven reliability, the AEI Converted 737-400SF will allow Kahala’s customers to keep their aircraft where they be- long “In the air, generating revenue”.
