First Saab 2000 cargo conversion under way
Täby Air Maintenance (TAM) is finalising a project to convert the high-speed turboprop Saab 2000 regional airliner into a cargo configuration. The conversion project is being spearheaded in close collaboration with launch customer Jetstream Aviation Capital, from Miami FL (USA).
The first aircraft is now in TAM’s workshop at Örebro airport. It is expected to be converted in the first quarter of 2022 and obtain EASA and FAA approval by the end of March 2022.
TAM managing director Pär Gulle said that “we’re confident we can meet any challenges to certify and convert this larger high-performance aircraft. We have extensive experience, having converted dozens of Saab 340 passenger aircraft to a cargo configuration.” (cj)
