Aviacon is widely known in the professional community of helicopter operators , MRO companies and manufacturers as a reliable provider of cost-effective solutions for the delivery and redeployment of their rotorcraft.

It has become the first choice IL-76 carrier to transport medium utility helicopters operating by the helicopter companies or manufacturers from the former USSR (MI-8/17, Ansat, Kamov’s models).

Company’s loadmasters obtained proven experience in loading/offloading of the Bell models (-208 / 215 / 412), Eurocopter AS350 (Squirrel), SA 341 (Gazelle), Westland Lynx, SA 330 (Puma ), AS 532 (Cougar), AS332 (Super Puma) and other models of rotorcraft of the same class on/from IL-76 cargo deck.

In 2012 we repatriated some support equipment used by Orbital Science Corp from the russian launch pad in Baikonur to Hamilton (Canada) with further transit to the USA.

Among the records of our orderbook there were also several charters to the launch pad in Blagoveshchensk and Plesetsk with satellite equipment.

Company Profile

Aviacon Zitotrans, a Russia-based private airline, founded in 1995, operates a fleet of IL-76TD aircraft.

For 25 years It has performed flights to/from/via more than 750 airports in 158 countries of the world.

Ilyushin-76 can do without most of the ground equipment necessary for a regular civil plane. Thanks to its rear ramp that allows roll-on and roll-off loading of wheeled and tracked vehicles and onboard equipment the plane allows unassisted loading and off-loading of heavy cargo.

Owning 5 the youngest IL76TDs out of less than 50 planes of that type left airworthy in the world commercial charter market, Aviacon is looking forward to providing you with reliable and high-quality airlift services. More...

Aviacon’s overseas operations are based upon our flight support team, which is run and manned 24/7/365.

It is capable of providing all-inclusive flight support (FPL, weather forecasts, traffic rights, airport arrangements, fuel uplifts) and ensures global coverage of the company operations.

IL76 – a versatile ramp freighter

IL76 cargo hold is fully-pressurized and has a titanium floor with fold-down roller conveyors.

Main cargo deck is equipped with 4 overhead cranes running the full length of the cargo hold, each of which with lifting capacity of 3,000 kg, and two winches.

A hydraulically-operated rear loading ramp itself can be used as a lift, with a capacity of up to 30,000 kg. It allows roll-on and roll-off loading of wheeled and tracked vehicles.

Although the cargo deck is compatible with international standard sea containers and pallets, the plane, originally designed as a military transport, proved to be also ideal for loading offloading of rolling stock, trucks, vehicles, out- and oversized gears, dangerous goods (including UN Class 1 cargo).
