TAM STC

Saab 340 cargo

TAM is offering a cost effective STC solution approved by both EASA and FAA for converting the fuel-efficient Saab 340A and Saab 340B passenger aircraft into a freighter.

Well over 40 airplanes has been delivered and the product have been developed over the years, based on operator’s experience making it more reliable and user friendly. The development further includes reduction of weight by use of more high strength low weight material, such as carbon fibre. The design eliminates the need for a smoke curtain and include a separate status panel for smoke detection as well as LED lighting for the cabin.
