Canada-based Chrono Aviation has signed up for a B737-800SF freighter conversion with Aeronautical Engineers, Inc.

The aircraft (MSN 30748) is scheduled to commence modification in June 2022.

Upon redelivery of this order, Chrono will have a fleet of two AEI B737-800SF freighters, one company owned and another leased.

Both aircraft will be used to support the company’s growing cargo operations, AEI said.

The AEI B737-800SF freighter offers a maindeck payload of up to 23.9 tonnes and eleven full height 88” x 125” container positions, plus an additional position for an AEP/AEH.
