SAN DIEGO – Wagner Aeronautical, Inc. today has announced that the company has entered an agreement to license Boeing engineering data to pursue a Supplemental Type Certificate for an MD-80 passenger-to-freighter conversion. Under this agreement Boeing will provide data to Wagner and will host program specific drawings on the MyBoeingFleet.com Web portal. Operators will also be able to utilize the Boeing field service network for service requests.

Bill Wagner, Wagner Aeronautical’s President said, “We are extremely pleased to become a Boeing licensed provider.” He went on to say, “our customers will benefit greatly from the high level of support offered along with lower fees.”

Over the last two years, Wagner has conducted extensive program development research on the MD-80 freighter and is currently in preliminary negotiations with an undisclosed customer.

The MD-80 was developed by McDonnell Douglas Corp., which merged with Boeing in 1997.
