The world’s first Boeing 737-700 FlexCombi aircraft, created in collaboration with Air Transport Services Group subsidiary Pemco Conversions, was delivered to Bahrain-based cargo carrier Texel Air on Tuesday.
This comes just one month after the US Federal Aviation Administration approved Pemco’s Passenger-to-FlexCombi conversion program for the Boeing 737-700 Next Generation aircraft.
The converted FlexCombi aircraft features up to seven flexible configurations, including one for medevac requirements, that can be interchanged in as little as 12 hours.
The first Boeing 737-700FC (for FlexCombi), a 16-year-old newly converted jet, was delivered to Texel Air’s hangar at Bahrain International Airport on Tuesday. The aircraft previously flew passengers for Air Berlin and Yakutia Airlines.

The first FlexiCombi has the capacity to interchange between three “initial” configurations, however Pemco Conversions has planned for the aircraft to take up to seven unique configurations.
For now, Texel Air can choose between the following three configurations:
Cargo mode – consisting of eight pallet positions for cargo, with a fully removable passenger interior.
Combi 1 – consisting of seven pallet positions and 12 economy seats.
Combi 2 – consisting of six pallet positions and 24 economy seats
In the future, the Boeing 737-700FC will also be able to configure as:
Combi 3 – including six pallet positions, with 12 economy, and four business class seats.
Combi 4 – including six pallet positions and eight business class seats.
Combi 5 – including seven pallet positions and four business class seats
Medevac – with six pallet positions, two Spectrum Aeromed stretchers, and six economy seats.
I cannot see any window on that frame's picture, neither real window neither blocked ones?
Would it be a first in having passengers flying without apparent windows?..
