Aeronautical Engineers, Inc. (AEI), the global leader in passenger-to-freighter aircraft conversion, has announced that Aeronaves T.S.M. S.A. de C.V. (TSM), a Saltillo, Mexico-based air cargo and passenger transportation provider, has ordered an additional six AEI CJR200 SF freighter conversions. The modifications for all six aircraft will be performed by Commercial Jet, an authorized AEI Conversion Center in Dothan, Alabama, with the first aircraft expected to be completed in June 2023 and all conversions scheduled to be finished by June 2024.
In March 2023, TSM ordered another B737-400SF freighter conversion from AEI, bringing their total order to 7 conversions. The new conversions will be used to support TSM’s expansion efforts. The AEI CRJ200 SF freighter conversion will provide TSM with an Ancra CLS capable of carrying up to 8 61.5” x 88” containers/pallets. Combined with AEI’s proven reliability, the converted aircraft will help TSM “keep their aircraft – ‘In the air, generating revenue.'”
