Pär Gulle, managing director of TAM, expressed, “We are happy that the STC is now approved by Transport Canada, which makes the conversion available for Canadian operators.”
The continued success of the STC is in part due to the use of lightweight materials, such as carbon fiber, which helps maintain the aircraft’s low basic weight while maximizing cargo capacity. The conversion also features a fully equipped Class E cargo compartment, eliminating the need for a smoke curtain and incorporating a smoke detection panel and LED lighting.
Nearly 40 Saab 340 aircraft, including both Saab 340A and 340B passenger versions, have been converted into freighters under TAM’s STC. Many of these are owned by Jetstream and operated by our worldwide airline customers. These converted aircraft can carry a maximum payload of 4,264 kg / 9,400 lbs.
Contact Donald Kamenz (dkamenz@jetstreamavcap.com) at Jetstream to learn more about leasing opportunities for both the Saab 340 and 2000.
