Vallair's last B737-400 freighter to Malaysia
Vallair, a Franco-Luxembourgish aviation company that provides integrated support for mature aircraft, engines and major components, has placed its final B737-400 freighter with Malaysian start-up operator M Jets, a subsidiary of MMAG Holdings which will operate its first freighter under the brand "Kargo Xpress". The B737-400 is a legacy product for Vallair which will now focus its future freighter conversion programmes on A321, B737NG and ATR variants.
Vallair CEO Gregoire Lebigot: "Offering eleven container positions, the Classic series is well suited for a start-up operator because of its reliability and economical operating costs. As the aircraft is well-known throughout the world, finding suitable maintenance facilities, crew, engineers, as well as spare parts, will not be an issue." (ah)
