PEMCO World Air Services, an Airborne Maintenance and Engineering Services company has declared a contract with YTO Cargo Airlines for three B737-300 P-to-F converted aircraft. China-based YTO, which is presently operating one B737-300 PEMCO-converted aircraft, will take redelivery of the three aircraft through the fourth quarter of 2017.

“PEMCO was selected based on our experience with their product,” said Bruce Lee of YTO. “We are pleased with the performance and recognize the operating economics to support our goal to be the ‘Choice of the Chinese’.”

“We’re honored to be selected by YTO,” said Mike Andrews, PEMCO director of Conversion Programs. “We look forward to our continued partnership and supporting their growth.”

PEMCO CEO Pastor Lopez commented, “We continue to build relationships and market share in China. We’re proud to work with YTO on this upcoming project.”

The B737-300 PEMCO-converted aircraft features nine pallet positions, up to 43,100 pounds of payload, and 4,600 cubic feet of total volume. The optimized center of gravity of PEMCO’s B737-300 freighter yields maximum possible usable payload and retains maximum best-in-class fuel effectiveness for unbeatable range and operating economics.

PEMCO’s 60-plus customers select the company’s passenger-to-freighter conversion for its superior cargo door and system, operating functions, on-time turnaround, and track record of 2 million hours of safe, reliable operation. PEMCO B737 freighter conversions are designed, certified, and supported using data obtained through a Boeing Data licensing agreement to ensure maximum performance and reliability.
