[edit] Fleet
TRANSAVIAEXPORT Airlines operated IL-76 heavy-lifters capable of transporting up to 45 tons of freight with a volume up to 210 cubic meters. IL-76 "Candid", a heavy ramp freighter, is one of the most efficient and demanded aircraft. The ability of this aircraft to operate in airport with undeveloped or underdeveloped infrastructure allows it to both meet the needs of entire regions in term of air cargo transportation, and significantly expand the customer base by attracting shippers who would normally use other ways of transportation.
TRANSAVIAEXPORT Airlines fleet includes the following aircraft (as of May 2009):
- EW-78769 - EW-78787
- EW-76710 - EW-76712 - EW-76734 - EW-76735 - EW-76737 - EW-78779 - EW-78792 - EW-78799 "Igor VASHKEVICH" - EW-78801 - EW-78808 - EW-78819 - EW-78839 - EW-78843 - EW-78848
