Worldwide Aircraft Services has agreed a partnership with OEM Saab to obtain FAA approval for the installation of 340A cargo modification service bulletins into 340B aircraft.
Sweden-based Saab said that by installing the modifications, the aircraft will benefit operators with greater flexibility, range and capacity.
As part of the agreement, Worldwide will also become a recognised 340/2000 AMO and will continue to provide MRO services for its regional Jet and turboprop aircraft.
“The Saab 340 aircraft has served operators very well over the years in both passenger and cargo markets; the current market trends and aircraft values make this an ideal time to bring the SAAB 340B aircraft to the freighter markets,” said Jim McClean, president of Worldwide Aircraft Services.
