Aeronautical Engineers, Inc. (AEI) has announced that Democratic Republic of Congo-based Serve Air has ordered its first AEI B737-800SF freighter conversion. The aircraft, (MSN 30517) has already commenced modification and will be redelivered to Serve Air in early November. All conversion related touch labor and maintenance is being performed by the authorized AEI conversion Center, Commercial Jet in Dothan, Alabama.
“While the narrowbody conversion market demand from leasing companies has slowed over the last few months, new orders for our B737-800SF freighter coming directly from operators continues to remain strong,” stated Robert T. Convey, AEI senior vice president sales and marketing. “Serve Air recently purchased an AEI B737-800SF from China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings Limited and is currently operating the freighter.”
