HAECO Xiamen has redelivered its first 737-800SF converted freighter to Aviation Holdings.

The HAECO Group company worked with supplemental type certificate (STC) partner Aeronautical Engineers (AEI). HAECO Xiamen has been an authorised AEI conversion centre since 2020.

To minimise downtime, HAECO Xiamen said it conducts full freighter conversions in parallel with heavy maintenance checks and other modifications. Its on-site quality assurance teams prepare daily reports as part of a comprehensive quality control process to ensure that work is conducted to the highest standards, the company added.

“As we expand our authorised AEI conversion centres in the Chinese mainland, we are happy that we have chosen HAECO Xiamen,” said AEI’s senior vice president of sales & marketing Robert Convey.

“The quality of workmanship and professionalism at HAECO Xiamen is exceptional and we congratulate them on the delivery of the first AEI conversion to Aviation Holdings.”
