TELAIR International, a Teleflex Company (NYSE: TFX), announced today that it has just successfully completed its FAA STC System Conformity Inspection for the worlds first Main Deck Cargo Loading System installation of the B747-400SF special freighter.
The B747-400SF aircraft (RT 456) is the first ever B747-400, which is converted from its original passenger role to a special freighter. The customer for this conversion is Cathay Pacific, who have ordered six (6) firm and six (6) optional systems under BFE from
TELAIR.
The system installation was supported through a number of TELAIR engineering- and certification personnel in Xiamen / China.
"We are very proud of finalizing probably our most complex B747 main deck system installation�, said TELAIR President Axel Hauner. "We believe the installation support we provided contributed heavily to the success of this first B747-400SF freighter conversion�.
"For our customers (CAT, JAL, NCA, SIA, KAL, MTH, AFR, DRG) who have ordered systems from TELAIR for the conversion of their B747-400 aircraft, this first successful installation indicates the strength and the performance TELAIR is able to provide to this market. "Meeting the challenges of this pro-gram will take our design and material approaches to an even higher technical level. This installation will deliver a value to our airline customers and to TELAIR's engineering vision and capabilities going forward�.
