Meet SFAIR’s

newest profit centre.

Those are two of the contract cargo runs being made by SFAIR, a Bordeaux-based cargo airline, with its Lockheed L-100-30 Super Hercules. By using Hercules, SFAIR has been able to introduce various regional airports in France to direct international commerce.

The results are outstanding. In just seven weeks, operating from Bordeaux, Nantes and other regional air centres, SFAIR realized significant profits with the versatile Hercules.

SFAIR's success bears out the adaptability of Hercules.

This cargo plane, which has been a commercial and military success for a long time, lends itself admirably to profit-making as well.

Four economical propjet engines are an example  Hercules efficiency. Compared with fanjet aircraft, Hercules uses from 15 to 25% less fuel, a considerable saving in these times of soaring fuel prices.

The L-100-30 can carry a payload of 50,400 pounds (including cargo up to 50 feet in length) in its square-shaped cargo compartment. And with its special rear ramp that lowers to the correct level for direct loading on or off lorries, it can easily accommodate eight large pallets. Quick turnaround time makes for quick profits. SFAIR found Super Hercules -already certified in France, Germany, Australia and the United States as a civil air freighter-to be the best way to open up new routes of international commerce from regional bases.
