One Of Two Airplanes To Be Converted Into Passenger/Cargo Configuration

Precision Conversions' 757-200PCC Combi program is progressing with the delivery of the conformity aircraft from Cargo Aircraft Management. The 1994 Pratt & Whitney powered 757-200 has been inducted at Flightstar Aircraft Services facility in Jacksonville, FL, and is currently undergoing modification. The Combi award from CAM is part of a two aircraft deal, both of which will include 10 full cargo positions and 48 passenger seats. Precision Conversions is finalizing engineering and certification efforts and will soon begin joint worldwide marketing, with CAM, for the 757-200PCC.

Steven Thomas, Precision Conversions President, said, "We are delighted to team with CAM on the 757-200PCC." Additionally, "As a valued customer and a current owner of the full 15 cargo position 757-200PCF freighter, CAM is already familiar with the high quality and flight efficiency of our conversion."

Joe Hete, President and Chief Executive Officer of ATSG, said, "We are excited to usher in a new aircraft to meet our customers' continued demand for a modernized, fuel-efficient Combi." He added, "The flight and fuel efficiency of the 757-200PCC makes the aircraft a natural progression and perfect transition from our current DC-8 Combi operations."

CAM intends to lease the first of two aircraft to Air Transport International, LLC (ATI), an ATSG subsidiary, for operations starting in the third quarter of 2012.
