HAECO, TAECO and STAECO, in conjunction with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Engineering Companies, have developed capabilities to convert Boeing 747 and 737 from passenger aircraft to full freighter. Since modification is usually a more economical option than acquiring new aircraft, the freighter conversion industry is set to grow, and HAECO Group is well equipped to meet the growing market demands.

 Turnaround Time
Full 747-400 conversion can be accomplished in parallel with other structural modification work such as Section 41 and pylon modifications, or heavy maintenance requirements such as ‘D’ checks – thus reducing out-of-service time. The turnaround time is approximately 85-90 days, depending on the amount of additional work specified by the customer. TOP
