North American Airlines and VT Systems plan Boeing 757-200 PTF conversion
North American Airlines and the aerospace division of Vision Technologies Systems (VT Systems) have entered into an agreement for the conversion of Boeing 757-200 passenger aircraft to Combi configuration. In the Combi configuration, the aircraft will accommodate up to ten cargo pallets and 45 passengers. The Boeing 757 Combi will be deployed on routes where the airline’s customers require the shipment of heavy supplies as well as personnel. VT Systems and Boeing jointly developed the engineering solution for the 757-200 passenger-to-freighter (PTF) conversion, and redelivered seventeen converted freighters to Boeing’s customer DHL. VT Systems is currently performing PTF conversions for FedEx, following the award of a conversion contract for 87 Boeing 757-200 aircraft. Quelle: eyefortransport Portal: www.logistik-express.com |
