The ATR72 which is also available as “quick change” (with removal seating configuration) has one of the best fuel efficiencies among regional aircraft.
View AircraftThe Beechcraft King Air comprises of numerous twin-turboprop models. The King Air 90 has great range and payload due to its features like composite winglets, swept-blade propellers and dual aft strakes. Suitable for smaller freight on short-haul flights.
View AircraftThe Cessna Caravan aircraft is known for its rugged utility and flexibility. With its powerful turboprop engine, the Caravan aircraft delivers the rare combination of high performance, low operating costs and the ability to adapt to a wide variety of missions. The powerful, efficient and dependable 675-horsepower PT6A-114A turbine engine gives the Caravan turboprop its exceptional payload capabilities.
View AircraftThe Cessna Citation is mainly a passenger jet but suitable for the transportation of small shipments. It is faster than a turbo prop aircraft, but usually can s be more expensive. It has a range of over 3,000 km and is therefore ideal for medium haul distances. It is the best choice for those small, urgent time critical consignments to remote locations with smaller airports. The essence of the Citation Jet is summed up in simplicity, economy and performance and it is excellent in terms of fuel efficiency.
View AircraftThe Metro 3 is a very economic turbo-prob aircraft and ideal for time sensitive, short haul flights. It has one of the best payload capacities in its category. It is most commonly used for time sensitive euro pallet transport.
View AircraftThe Saab 340 has good payload capacity and is relatively cheap to maintain and operate. This makes it is an ideal choice for the transport of urgent automotive spare parts. It can take-off from a shorter runway than many other aircraft types of it’s category.
View AircraftThe A300-600 jetliner’s wide-body fuselage cross-section, high versatility and low operating costs make it an ideal regional freighter. In the A300-600F variant, this aircraft carries significant tonnage and volume on the main deck, as well as in the generous underfloor holds – accommodating the full range of existing cargo containers and pallets. With its range of more than 4,000 nautical miles, the A300-600 has the capability to fly all major regional routes of the world’s principal economic regions.
View AircraftThe Tupolev TU-204 is a medium range narrow-body twinjet and good for medium- to long-haul flights. It has been developed in different versions. TU-204 freighters fitted are with a forward main deck freight door. It was the first Russian/CIS built aircraft to hold an EASA aircraft type certification. It can fly for long distances without intermediate stops for refuelling. Its floor is fitted with roller beds for easy handling of cargo and ideal for transporting freight in pallets.
View AircraftThe B767-200 is a large, heavy but comparatively fuel efficient wide-bodied medium-long haul airliner. It is best suited to medium- to long-haul distances. It offers outstanding operational efficiency with a good payload configuration. The stretch version, the 300 series, provides for yet higher payload capability.
View AircraftThe Ilyushin Il-76 is a multi-purpose four-engine turbofan medium to long range freighter. It was designed to deliver heavy machinery to remote, poorly served areas. The Il-76 has seen extensive service as a commercial freighter for ramp-delivered cargo, especially for outsized or heavy items unable to be otherwise carried. Because of its ability to operate from unpaved runways, it has been useful in undeveloped areas. Its highlight is an internal winch system that can pull the cargo inside with a max. weight of 10t. per piece.
View AircraftThe B757-200 is a twin-engine aircraft for medium-haul flights. There are production cargo versions as well as freighters converted from passenger versions. It can carry 15 ULDs on the cargo main deck. Additionally, freight can be carried in the below compartments. Uplift capacity range is from 34 tons to 36 tons. depending on aircraft version, flight route and the nature of cargo.
View AircraftThe A310F is a wide-bodied aircraft, a shortened version of the A300F. It can carry up to 39t of freight for 5,950 km. The aircraft has been designed for regional routes but with the capability to fly extended range routes with optional long-range tanks. The A-310 is ideal for transporting outsize cargo. Because it needs a main deck high-loader to load and unload cargo on the main deck, it may not be a suitable aircraft for some remote airports.
View AircraftThe Antonov AN12 is a four-engine turboprop built in the Soviet Union. It is a very common choice for time-critical cargo, especially heavier consignments as it is flexible for loading. It can carry many types of cargo, including outsized cargo. It is easy to load using the built-in loading system. It is popular especially in Europe and Africa.
View AircraftThe Lockheed L-100 is the civilian cargo transport version of the globally popular C-130 Hercules military version and have proven to be of great utility, particularly in undeveloped countries. The L-100 has excellent handling capabilities and short-field hauling qualities. Equipped with built in handling systems, ramp facilities and thrust reversers that allow the aircraft to operate without pushback, the L-100-30 Hercules is ideal for transporting cargo to remote and isolated destinations. It is also capable of taking off and landing on short runways (STOL) and rough terrain.
