The best in class Boeing 757-200 is powered by twin 36-600 Rolls-Royce RB211 underwing turbo engines for a maximum takeoff weight of 255,000 lbs. The Alaska-based carrier intends to continue enlarging its fleet as it prepares for passenger flights. Prior to entering service, the aircraft will undergo a full C-level maintenance check by Certified Aviation Services LLC (C.A.S.), a leading maintenance, repair and overhaul (M.R.O.) firm in San Bernardino, California. The acquisition of the Boeing 757-200s is the first step in Northern Pacific’s business plan.
The airline intends to offer service between points in the U.S. The first aircraft within this purchase will be delivered immediately. The airline completed the transaction to meet part of its initial fleet requirements. Northern Pacific Airways (Anchorage), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FLOAT Alaska LLC, has agreed to the purchase of its first six aircraft-Boeing 757-200s.
