Hallo,
die meißten Frachtflüge gehen doch in den Nachtflug. Schön wäre es trotzdem.
Eine Antonov für Fracht auf NRN - da bin ich ja mal gespannt

Naja, Based@NRN wäre ja was anderes. (Antonov cool )
Wenn die Kisten nachts fliegen sollen würden Sie ja Abends hier rausgehen und wären dann evtl. erst Morgens wieder hier. So also kein Problem.

Für mich kommt angesichts des Frachtvolumens (im Text 4 bis 6 Tonnen) eigendlich nur die Antonov An26 in Frage.

Don't know. There is a nice variety in Antonovs. It can be the AN24, AN26, AN28, AN30, AN32, AN34, AN70, An72, AN74 and so on. But it can also be a Yak-40 or a Yak-42.

It doesn't really matter what it is, russian aircraft are always nice.

For now, let's hope they are actually coming. There has been a lot of dissapointments lately, so I am still not confinced that there is coming something. It is just like always....... just wait and see!

''they" ????????

There is written about the possiblity of 1 aircraft.

Read also I the artikel that Mr Van Elk says:

"We hope to have a based cargo plane withing to months"

Oh god, this is exiting!!!!! I suggest someone puts 22 januari 05 on it's calender to rember to reply oin this mail.... Then we really know if we have freight at NRN....

Hey Triple,

With "they" I mean the company. Unless it is a one man company, you have to say they!!! hahaha.

But oke, the article talks about ONE aircraft.

Yeah, that does not necessarily mean that they have already found a company . But I hope so .

@Morpheus

Normally, the An24 is for passengers and the An26 for cargo. Its nearly the same aircraft.

And I don't think that anyone has a Yak40 in a Cargo-version. I flew with a Yak40 of Hemus Air (LZ-DOM) an this plane is very little - such for 30 passengers and without capacity for Cargo. I know nothing about an aircraft like Yak40F

@all

Why did van Elk say something about an russian build aircraft? If NRN didn't find a company, they don't say anything about the type!

[JetStar]

The Yak40K has a large side-cargo-door! There should be some of these in service.

But I think an Antonov 26 is a more realistic option!

@JetStar

They said something about a capacity of 4 up to 6 tonns Cargo.

The Yak40 has a take off weight of 16 000 kg (full load -> 30 Passengers include baggage + fuel).

6 tonns are a little bit too much for 30 passengers and their bagages, I think.

Ps.: The An26 has a capacity up to 5500kg.

[Morpheus]

Polet Cargo Airlines flies with the cargoversion of the Yak40.

[Kleve88]

And what about the capacity of the Yak40K?

I remember on LZ-DOM... little like a Biz-jet!

[Morpheus]

I remember a Yak-42 of Latcharter at CGN in 2002. This plane is actually not much smaller than a AN26. But after all, I didn't say it would be a Yak40/42, I also believe that it is going to be an AN26 (When it all really is going to happen).

Maybe we know it all in just two months.

The Yak40 has a take off weight of 16 000 kg (full load -> 30 Passengers include baggage + fuel).

6 tonns are a little bit too much for 30 passengers and their bagages, I think.

A Yak40 crashed some years ago with 50 pax on board. (and yes, indeed, it has only 30 seats!!!).

We had a Yak40 at Groningen Airport in 1994 on a charter to Estonia carring business people from the Netherlands. With a full load of 30 pax they had to leave a lot of cargo/luggage behind due to the aircraft being overweighted...

So, the Yak40 is not a serious cargo-aircraft I think...
