Fifth IL-76TD-90VD joins Volga-Dnepr freighter fleet

Volga-Dnepr Airlines has introduced a fifth all-new IL-76TD-90VD to its fleet. The new freighter performed its first commercial flight last month (June).

Like the other four 50-tonne IL-76TD-90VDs in the Russian carrier's inventory, the new freighter was produced at the Chkalov Aviation Facility in Tashkent.

Looking forward, Andrew Pakhomov, general director of Volga-Dnepr Leasing, said: "At the present time a programme of further acquisitions of more IL-76TD-90VDs is being considered to reinforce Volga-Dnepr Airlines' fleet."

He went on: "The aircraft has successfully demonstrated its excellent performance capability int he international cargo market and therefore Volga-Dnepr Group forecasts it needs to expand its Ilyushin fleet to 20 airplanes by 2030."

The group's first IL-76TD-90VD modernised variant went into revenue service in 2006.
