Global leader in B737 passenger-to-freighter conversions PEMCO
World Air Services (PEMCO) has announced an agreement with YTO
Cargo Airlines (YTO) for three B737-300 P-to-F converted aircraft.
China-based YTO, which is currently operating one B737-300
PEMCO-converted aircraft, will take redelivery of the three
aircraft through Q4 2017.
“PEMCO was selected based on our experience with their product,”
said Bruce Lee of YTO. “We are pleased with the performance and
recognize the operating economics to support our goal to be the
‘Choice of the Chinese’.”
“We’re honored to be selected by YTO,” shared Mike Andrews,
PEMCO Director of Conversion Programs. “We look forward to our
continued partnership and supporting their growth.”
The B737-300 PEMCO-converted aircraft features nine pallet
positions, up to 43,100 pounds of payload, and 4,600 cubic feet of
total volume. The optimized center of gravity of PEMCO’s B737-300
freighter yields the highest possible usable payload and retains
maximum best-in-class fuel efficiency for unbeatable range and
operating economics.
PEMCO’s 60-plus customers select the company’s
passenger-to-freighter conversion for its superior cargo door and
system, operating functions, on-time turnaround, and track record
of 2 million hours of safe, reliable operation. PEMCO B737
freighter conversions are designed, certified, and supported using
data obtained through a Boeing Data licensing agreement to ensure
maximum performance and reliability.
PEMCO CEO Pastor Lopez stated, “We continue to build
relationships and market share in China. We’re proud to work with
YTO on this upcoming project.”
