Joint efforts to strengthen Mexican maindeck capacity
ACC Aviation, a global aviation consultancy headquartered in the UK, has transacted a B737-400 from Lithuania's Getjet Airlines to Frontera Flight Holdings, USA.
The 1991-built aircraft will be reconfigured from 168-seat passenger fit to dedicated freighter for onward lease to Aeronaves TSM. With the new aircraft, the carrier aims to "strengthen its position in the air cargo market and leverage the e-commerce demand between Mexico and Central America".
The addition of a cargo door and the modification of the main deck to carry ULDs or pallets of up to 23 t - is scheduled to start later this summer by Aeronautical Engineers of Miami, FL.
Robert Sitta, VP asset management at ACC Aviation, based in Dubai: "Demand for freighter aircraft has increased significantly since the pandemic." (ah)
