Cargo Aircraft

Helicopters

Helicopters typically accommodate up to 20T of cargo. These aircraft are commonly used for short-range private and commercial travel to include emergency services. These aircraft are an effective alternative to fixed-wing aircraft in congested or isolated areas.

Small Utility Freighter

Transasia Airways ATR72-212A(B-22803) (4351371277)

Small Utility Freighters are short- to medium-haul cargo aircraft that typically transport up to 11340 kg of cargo with a main hold width less than 508 cm.

Small Cargo Freighter

Small Cargo Freighters are short- to medium-haul cargo aircraft that typically transport up to 29485 kg of cargo with a main hold width less than 508 cm.

Medium Cargo Freighter

Medium Cargo Freighters are medium- to long-haul cargo aircraft. Narrow-body aircraft in this class typically transport up to 65770 kg of cargo with a main hold width less than 508 cm, and wide-body aircraft in this class have a main hold width less than 600 cm.

Large Cargo Freighter

Qantas Boeing 747-400 VH-OJU over Starbeyevo Kustov

Large Cargo Freighter are medium- to long-haul wide-body cargo aircraft that typically transport up to 140,000 kg with a main hold width greater than 508 cm but less than 600 cm.

Oversized Freighter

Oversized Freighter are medium- to long-haul wide-body cargo aircraft that typically transport up to 140,000 kg with a main hold width greater than 600 cm. These aircraft will accommodate irregular cargo such as fire engines and factory parts.

Passenger Aircraft

Helicopters

Helicopters typically accommodate 1-15 passengers. These aircraft are commonly used for short-range private and commercial travel to include emergency services. These aircraft are an effective alternative to fixed-wing aircraft in congested or isolated areas.

Piston Aircraft

Piston propeller aircraft typically accommodate 1-18 passengers. These aircraft are a low-cost option for short-range, low-altitude flight and are capable of landing on small airfields with minimal support.

Truboprop Aircraft

Turboprops are high power propeller aircraft that typically accommodate 7-74 passengers. These aircraft are a low-cost option for short- to medium-range flights and are capable of landing on small airfields with minimal support.

VIP/Executive Aircraft

P4-RLA Airbus A319-133X CJ A319 - System Capital (21759326095)

VIP/Executive Aircraft aka VIP airliners or bizliner are airliners converted into business jets with 1st class or executive level accommodations. What aircraft fall under this category is somewhat subjective but may include pistons, turboprops, and jets (turbofans).

Private Jets

Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 AN1408982

Private Jets can be broken down in several classes: Very light jets typically accommodate 6–7 passengers over a 2174 km average range; Light jets typically accommodate 6–8 passengers over a 3617 km average range; Mid-size jets typically accommodate 9 passengers over a 4704 km average range. Super mid-size jets typically accommodate 10–11 passengers over a 6334 km average range; Large jets typically accommodate 13–14 passengers over a 7410 km average range; Long Range Jets typically accommodate 12–19 passengers over a 12034 km average range.

Regional Jetliner

Regional Airliners are short to medium-range jet or turboprop aircraft that typically accommodate fewer than 100 passengers. These aircraft are similar in nature to narrow-body or wide-body aircraft that are usually equipped with lavatories, stand-up cabins, pressurization, overhead storage bins, and reclining seats, and have a flight attendant.

Remote Site Aircraft

Remote Site Aircraft are typically rugged aircraft that have the ability to take off and land on short or unimproved (gravel, grass dirt) runways and operate under austere conditions. What aircraft fall under this category is somewhat subjective but may include pistons, turboprops, and jets (turbofans) to include repurposed military aircraft.

Narrow-body Airliner

EC-LNC Boeing 737-400 Alba Star (13272762295)

Narrow-body Airliners are single-aisle, medium to long-range jets that accommodate fewer than 100 passengers. The Airbus A320 family is the most ordered narrow-body aircraft

Wide-body Airliner

Boeing 787-800 First Visit (6834571796) (2)

Wide-body Airliners are twin-aisle medium- to long-range jets that typically accommodate 100 or more passengers. Twin-aisle aircraft have two separate aisles running from the front to the back of the passenger cabin. These aircraft are usually used for long-haul flights between airline hubs and major cities with many passengers. The first wide-body aircraft, the Boeing 747, rolled out in September 1968

Military Aircraft

Soviet era military aircraft

Soviet era military aircraft are commonly repurposed as efficient civilian operated transport aircraft due to their simple rugged construction and low operating costs; they are commonly utilized in humanitarian missions and conflict zones where the quality of runways/airstrips and ground support is limited (see manufacturers such as Antonov, Ilyushin, Kamov, Mil and Tupolev using our cargo aircraft guide).

Crews for these aircraft often originate from former Soviet Republics, Eastern Europe (Warsaw Pact), Eurasia, or even Africa or the Middle East where Soviet equipment was commonly used. In many cases the original models of these aircraft are still supported or have been modernized by various nations to maintain or extend their original operational capabilities. They are a reliable cost-effective alternative for remote site operations.

Frequently they are used by military contractors to support US, NATO and UN operations in places, such as, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan (Darfur) and other austere environments around the world.
