Jackson Square Aviation (JSA) has placed an order for six 737-800SF freighter conversions with Aeronautical Engineers (AEI). It is the first freighter conversion order JSA has placed with AEI.

“We welcome Jackson Square Aviation to the AEI family,” said AEI’s senior vice president of sales and marketing Robert T. Convey. “We look forward to exceeding Jackson Square’s expectations and working with them as they continue to expand their world-class fleet of aircraft.”

The first two aircraft of the order are slated to enter modification in May 2024, with follow on aircraft scheduled in secession until the sixth aircraft is redelivered to JSA in January 2026.

Miami-based Commercial Jet will accomplish conversion related touch labour for all six aircraft. Commercial Jet is an authorised AEI conversion centre and is AEI’s mainline provider of freighter modifications in the US.

“We are delighted to partner with AEI for the first of our passenger to freight aircraft conversions,” said JSA’s chief executive officer Kevin McDonald. “This is a natural evolution of our fleet and allows us to expand our offering to existing and new customers.”
