Texel Air, an established private airline and MRO based in the Kingdom of Bahrain, reported the arrival of the latest addition to its fleet, the Boeing 737-700 FlexCombi™, a first of a kind aircraft conversion developed to provide the most versatile third party cargo charter solution available in the market today.
The aircraft, which will be based in the Kingdom of Bahrain, is unique in its ability to be configured in seven different ways for multiple purposes in a remarkably fast 48-hour time frame. The FlexCombi™ can switch seamlessly to operate humanitarian, government, express integrator and commercial flights from major airports to smaller remote runways with configuration flexibility achieved without compromise in cargo volumes and customized-mission capability. In addition to cargo, the aircraft is able to transport up to 24 people as well as offering the option for medical evacuation flights, using two speciality medical beds installed on the aircraft.
The FlexCombi™ was developed in partnership with PEMCO World Air Services (Tampa U.S.A.), who effectively translated the concept into an approved FAA STC.
