Transair acquires first B737-400SF

AEI has announced it has been awarded a contract to supply Hawaii-based Transair with its first B737-400SF. The aircraft involved is currently registered N251AU (25104) by Automatic LLC and has been stored at Tampa (FL) since it was retired by Flair Airlines from Canada where it operated as C-FLHJ until 4 August 2020. Conversion of the plane is to begin in June.

Transair was founded in 1982 and is, according to them, the leader in interisland air cargo in the state of Hawaii. It has a fleet of five cargo B737-200s as well as five cargo Sh360s.
