Pemco Launches Full Conversion Program for 737-700
Bahrain’s Texel Air plans to fly the first example of the Boeing narrowbody cargo mod.

Pemco Conversions has launched a passenger-to-full-freighter conversion program for the Boeing 737-700, the first of which would enter service with Bahraini non-scheduled cargo operator Texel Air, the Tampa-based maintenance, modifications, and engineering company announced Wednesday. Texel’s parent company, Chisholm Enterprises, collaborated with Pemco to develop the conversion for use out of Bahrain International Airport. Chisholm also served as the launch customer for Pemco’s 737-700 FlexCombi converted freighter, a supplemental type certificate for which remains pending.
