IAI's Bedek Ready to Expand Freighter Conversion Options
IAI's Bedek division is working on supplemental type certificates to convert Boeing 737-700s and -800s into freighters.

The Bedek division of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is pushing to expand its share of the passenger-to-freighter conversion market with a new supplemental type certificate (STC) for Boeing’s 737-700 narrowbody expected to be announced in June. Meanwhile, it is in the middle of the design and development project for the larger -800 model and hopes to secure the STC for that modification in the first quarter of 2018.
