Volga-Dnepr: first flight
May 23, 2009
Volga-Dnepr has operated its first IL-76TD-90VD flight from Australia with an emergency shipment of 10m pipes bound for Noumea in New Caledonia. The charter required a 72 hour response time over the course of a weekend and called for the use of an airline with a self-loading ramp freighter that was also able to meet the strict Australian civil aviation regulations. Volga-Dnepr’s IL-76TD-90VD was the perfect solution.

Unlike older versions of the IL-76, the modernised IL-76TD-90VD freighter is approved for worldwide operations and flies to and from Australia under an Australian Foreign Operators’ Certificate issued by the country’s regulatory authority, CASA.
