Miami, Florida-based Aeronautical Engineers, Inc. (AEI) has launched a passenger-to-freighter conversion program for the Bombardier CRJ100 and CRJ200 regional jets, the company announced Thursday. Just named a Bombardier licensed third-party supplemental type certificate (STC) provider, AEI plans to make the conversion available to its worldwide network of authorized conversion centers once the FAA issues the STC for the conversion. AEI expects the initial certification to take two years and plans to certify the program with the FAA, Transport Canada, EASA, China’s CAA and Russian authorities.
