FAA Approves AerSafe to comply with fuel tank flammability reduction rule for Boeing 737 Classics

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for installation of AerSale’s new AerSafe system on the Boeing 737 Classic series aircraft (ST03589NY) in compliance with the Fuel Tank Flammability Reduction (FTFR). This new STC is in addition to the STC for the Boeing 737 NG series, approved by the FAA earlier this year (ST02980NY). “AerSafe is one of the few FAA-approved options that complies with the FTFR rule, and at approximately one quarter of the cost of the nitrogen inerting system over the course of 10 years, it provides air carriers an effective low-maintenance solution,”
