PEMCO World Air Services (PEMCO) has redelivered its second special mission 737-400C to Safair for operation in Africa. This versatile PEMCO-built Combi will be used primarily in support of global humanitarian and charitable relief organizations.
This latest delivery is a 737-400 Combi with PEMCO designed “Swiss army knife” cargo loading system, capable of simultaneously carrying four and a half pallets of freight in multiple configurations (88x125, 88x108, 88x118x or eight 88x61.5) and seventy-two passengers. The functional capabilities of the converted aircraft make them perfect for accomplishing unique and difficult missions for Safair.
Dave Andrew, the Chief Executive of Safair said: “Adding the second Pemco Combi to the Safair fleet was an easy decision. The first aircraft, which has been operating for over a year, has exceeded our expectations, providing transportation of cargo and passengers with exceptional safety and dispatch reliability while operating in demanding environments and under challenging circumstances. The combination of reliability and rugged multi-mission capability has resulted in numerous successful humanitarian missions and the ability to grow our fleet in support of Africa and beyond.”
