Jan 30, 2008 (newstodate): The delayed delivery of the first MD-11F freighter to Aeroflot Cargo is reportedly drawing near.
The ex-Varig MD-11 has been converted from passenger to cargo aircraft by Alenia Aeronavali at Naples, and was flown to Helsinki for painting before Christmas, sources say.
By the end of 2009 Aeroflot Cargo will thus have six MD-11F, two Boeing 737-300F and three IL-96-400 freighter in its fleet, with the current four DC-10-40F aircraft being tranferred to domestic cargo routes before being finally phased out.
