17 / 07 / 2018
Aeronautical Engineers, Inc (AEI) has signed a contract to provide Mexico-based Aeronaves T.S.M. (TSM) with four additional CRJ200 SF freighter conversions, which offer eight pallet positions.
The first CRJ200 of this order will commence in September, with redelivery scheduled for January 2019.
The second, third and fourth aircraft will commence in March, July, and December of 2019 respectively.
AEI partner Commercial Jet’s Dothan, Alabama facility will perform the modification for all four conversions.
Upon completion and delivery, TSM will operate a total of eight AEI CRJ200 SF freighters. TSM’s plans call for at least a doubling its fleet of CRJ200 SF freighters in the coming years.
The two companies signed a similar deal in April of this year.
The carrier currently operates nine AEI MD-80SF series and two CRJ200 SF freighters. TSM serves customers throughout the Americas including the US, Canada, México, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panamá. Other aircraft in its cargo fleet include 25 Metro IIIs, 4 Convair 640s, six DC-9-30s and two DC-9-15s.
