TAMPA, Fla. (September 23, 2015) — PEMCO World Air Services (PEMCO) has announced the redelivery of a converted B737-300F (MSN 27522) to S.F. Airlines, the air cargo division of Shenzhen-based logistics specialist S.F. Express, one of the leading couriers in China, with delivery service to 10 countries, including the United States.
PEMCO has now completed a total of 10 737-300/400 freighter conversions for the airline. The original contract, signed in July 2013, was recently revised to add seven conversions.
The latest PEMCO freighters to join S.F. Airlines’ growing fleet were converted by PEMCO’s longtime partner, STAECO, in Jinan Shandong, China. PEMCO and STAECO have partnered on more than 50 Boeing 737-300 and 737-400 freighter modification projects since 2006. Today PEMCO, together with its three regional conversion installation partners, provides seamless global product support to operators of their Boeing 737 converted freighters.
“We are pleased that SF Airlines has decided to expand their fleet requirements once again by selecting PEMCO’s STC modification,” said PEMCO’s Director of Cargo Conversions, Mike Andrews. “PEMCO and S.F., together with our partner STAECO, have forged an effective partnership which we anticipate will endure for years to come.”
PEMCO’s latest 737-300F redelivery for S.F Airlines provides nine pallet positions, up to 43,100 pounds of payload, and 4,600 cubic feet of total volume.
PEMCO’s 60-plus customers select the company’s passenger-to-freighter conversion for its superior cargo door and system, superior operating functions, on-time turnaround, and a track record of two million hours of safe, reliable operation.
