New cargo conversion opportunity in Canada
Täby Air Maintenance (TAM) has received approval for its Saab 340 cargo conversion STC from Transport Canada, following a previous authorisation by both Easa and FAA. Close to 40 Saab 340 airplanes, including both Saab 340A and Saab 340B have been converted into full freighters as per the TAM STC.
The conversion has proven to be a rigid design with a full Class E cargo compartment without any need for smoke curtains. By using lightweight and strong material such as carbon fibre the manufacturer has been able to keep aircraft basic mass low with high useful cargo load.
“We are happy that Transport Canada has now approved the STC, which makes the conversion available for Canadian operators,” says Pär Gulle, managing director, PAM. (cj)
