AeroSync Air Cargo Service operates 7 different aircraft. See exact details below.
The Cargo Division [AAC] operates...
- 6 Cessna C208 Caravan
- 10 Lockheed C130J
- 25 Boeing 757F
- 5 Airbus A330-200F
- 9 McDonnell Douglas MD-11F
- 2 Boeing 747-8F
-Cessna 208 Caravan
The Cessna 208 Caravan is an American single-engined turboprop, fixed-tricycle landing gear, short-haul regional airliner and utility aircraft that can seat up to 14 passengers. It's primary purpose is to provide short haul feederliner services and short but intense cargo routes and occasionally person transport. Despite the fact our new AAC pilots wont fly this aircraft long, it will give them goosebumps on the selected routes.

-Lockheed C130J Hercules
The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop transport aircraft designed and built originally by Lockheed Martin. Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of roles. It is operated by AAC in regions which present challenging approaches and difficult terrain and meet small to mediocre cargo demands.

-Boeing 757-200F
The Boeing 757 is a mid-size, narrow-body twin-engine jet airliner that was designed and built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It was designed with a supercritical wing design, a conventional tail and specific engine types to allow for shorter runway takeoff's and climb's to higher altitudes. Leased from UPS, this aircraft is used for mediocre to long haul, rough routes and operates from almost all our hubs, perfectly suited for essential support for islands and special, remote regions.

-Airbus A330-200F
The Airbus A330 is a medium- to long-range wide-body twin-engine jet airliner made by Airbus. The A330-200F can carry up to 70 tonnes (154,000 lb) of cargo, making it the perfect replacement for our aging MD11F fleet. To overcome the standard A330's nose-down body angle on the ground, the A330F uses a revised nose undercarriage layout to provide a level deck during cargo loading. AeroSync utilizes the slightly bigger airframe on interesting routes all around the globe, check our route section for more information.
( Note : The A330 will obviously not replace the MD11F over time :D )

-McDonnel Douglas/ Boeing MD11f
The MD-11F Freight transport aircraft was the second variant on offer at launch in 1986 and was the last and longest (1988–2000) manufactured version. AeroSync Air Cargo still counts big time on the versatility of this slightly aging triple engine jet, operating several MD11s on very versatile routes, supporting even the airfield of Bagram.

-Boeing 747-8F
The Boeing 747-8 is a wide-body jet airliner developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 747-8 is the third generation of the 747, with lengthened fuselage, redesigned wings, and improved efficiency. The 747-8 is the largest 747 version, the largest commercial aircraft built in the United States, and the longest passenger aircraft in the world. It's enormous payload allows for our fleet to be used by AAC for aircraft transportation to our airshows destinations and successfully connect our main hub Rockford with our secondary hubs in Munich, Fairford, La Paz etc.
