Jetstream’s longstanding partner, Sweden-based Täby Air Maintenance (TAM), has received approval from Transport Canada for its Saab 340 Cargo Conversion supplemental type certificate (STC), which was previously authorized by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Pär Gulle, managing director of TAM, expressed, “We are happy that the STC is now approved by Transport Canada, which makes the conversion available for Canadian operators.”
The continued success of the STC is in part due to the use of lightweight materials, such as carbon fiber, which helps maintain the aircraft’s low basic weight while maximizing cargo capacity. The conversion also features a fully equipped Class E cargo compartment, eliminating the need for a smoke curtain and incorporating a smoke detection panel and LED lighting.
