(AEI) B737-800SF Cargo Conversion consists of the installation of a 86" x 137" cargo door on the left side of the fuselage, and modification of main deck to a Class E cargo compartment. After conversion the aircraft can carry eleven 88" x 125" AAA full height containers or pallets plus one AEP/AEH, with pallet weights up to 9,000 lbs. AEI's B737-800SF is now ETOPS 180 approved.</span><br /></span><span class="wixui-rich-text__text" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: verdana; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></div><p class="font_8 wixui-rich-text__text" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: rgb(var(--color_15)); line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">AEI's cargo door has earned a reputation of being the most robust and reliable in the conversion industry. The cargo door is hydraulically operated and actuated from the inside of the aircraft by a independent system. Hydraulic pressure is available from two sources: a 28VDC electrically operated hydraulic pump or a manual hand pump. The door control and manual pump are located on the 9g barrier, allowing a single person to operate the door manually.</span></p><p class="font_8 wixui-rich-text__text" style="background-attachment: initial;

With these two new additions, Aerolineas Argentinas' A330 fleet will once again reach the peak of ten A330's that it had in 2017. This will allow the airline to increase service from Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) to Madrid (MAD) (12x/weekly) and Rome-Fiumicino (FCO) (5x/weekly) in July of this year. The A330's will reportedly also replace Aerolineas' 737 MAX 8's on service from EZE to Punta Cana (PUJ) and Havana (HAV) plus add frequency to Cancun (CUN) (4x/weekly) and Miami (MIA) (10x/weekly). </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;">Interestingly, LV-KHT and LV-KHU are both powered by Rolls Royce </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; letter-spacing: 0.15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Trent 77DB-60 engines, which reportedly allow for higher takeoff weights and greater range, compared to the eight A330-202/203 that they are joining, which have General Electric </span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">CF6-80E1A3/4 powerplants with lower maximum takeoff weights.

Both aircraft were originally delivered to South African Airways in 2011 before being returned to lessor Air Castle in 2020. With these two new additions, Aerolineas Argentinas' A330 fleet will once again reach the peak of ten A330's that it had in 2017. This will allow the airline to increase service from Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) to Madrid (MAD) (12x/weekly) and Rome-Fiumicino (FCO) (5x/weekly) in July of this year. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Special thanks to Jesus M. de Leon for permission to use the heading photo. </span></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sources:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://lanzarotespotter.wordpress.com/2022/10/12/lv-fvh-aerolineas-argentinas-airbus-a330-202/"><span style="font-family: verdana;">https://lanzarotespotter.wordpress.com/2022/10/12/lv-fvh-aerolineas-argentinas-airbus-a330-202/</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="http://argentina-airline-news.blogspot.com/2017/03/fleet-update-aerolineas-argentinas-took.html"><span style="font-family: verdana;">http://argentina-airline-news.blogspot.com/2017/03/fleet-update-aerolineas-argentinas-took.html</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="http://argentina-airline-news.blogspot.com/2018/03/aerolineas-argentinas-to-make-decision.html"><span style="font-family: verdana;">http://argentina-airline-news.blogspot.com/2018/03/aerolineas-argentinas-to-make-decision.html</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="http://argentina-airline-news.blogspot.com/2020/12/aerolineas-argentinas-a330-200-departs.html"><span style="font-family: verdana;">http://argentina-airline-news.blogspot.com/2020/12/aerolineas-argentinas-a330-200-departs.html</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://www.aviacionline.com/2022/05/aerolineas-argentinas-abre-concurso-para-incorporar-dos-airbus-a330-200/"><span style="font-family: verdana;">https://www.aviacionline.com/2022/05/aerolineas-argentinas-abre-concurso-para-incorporar-dos-airbus-a330-200/</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.aviacionline.com/2022/10/sueno-en-marcha-aerolineas-argentinas-presento-su-avion-del-mundial/">https://www.aviacionline.com/2022/10/sueno-en-marcha-aerolineas-argentinas-presento-su-avion-del-mundial/</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.aviacionline.com/2022/11/aerolineas-argentinas-made-a-new-special-flight-to-paris/">https://www.aviacionline.com/2022/11/aerolineas-argentinas-made-a-new-special-flight-to-paris/</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://www.sirchandler.com.ar/2023/05/aerolineas-argentinas-recibe-un-airbus-330/">https://www.sirchandler.com.ar/2023/05/aerolineas-argentinas-recibe-un-airbus-330/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://www.airfleets.net/flottecie/Aerolineas%20Argentinas.htm">https://www.airfleets.net/flottecie/Aerolineas%20Argentinas.htm</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: verdana;">aviacionnews.com 14May20</span></div></span></div></span></span></div></span></div></span></span></div></div>Phil BOS E-Mail: psp757@hotmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02319349968693835167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847042903337201306.post-35788005947574282662023-05-15T01:16:00.000-03:002023-05-15T01:16:32.875-03:00ROUTE UPDATES: March 2023 - Part 1 - Aerolineas Argentinas, Air Europa, American Airlines, Boliviana, British Airways, Flybondi<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span><b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Route Updates - March 2023 - Part 1<br /></span></u></b></span><span><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span>The following airlines / flights are confirmed to have started or re-started service on the indicated routes on the listed dates.
