Boeing
777-200 Long Range Freighter
Trent Valley Aircargo
operates 3 of these magnificent cargo haulers; G-TVAA, G-TVAF
and G-TVAG. All 3 were purchased directly from the Boeing
facility at Renton. With a maximum takeoff weight of 766,000
pounds (347,450 kilograms), the 777 Freighter has a revenue
payload capability of 229,000 pounds ( 103.9 metric tons).
Currently all B777's are based at EGNX (East Midlands)
although space limitations on the western cargo ramp mean
the company rarely have more than 1 positioned to EGNX at
one time. The triple seven fleet currently bears the Boeing
Worldfreighter livery with temporary company titles, this
will be replaced as the company paint facility at Cambridge
comes online.

Boeing
747-400 Freighter
The Boeing 747
Freighter is the big gun of the TVA fleet, currently we operate 2 examples of
the heavy hauler used mainly on long haul charter assignments.

Boeing
767-300 Freighter
The Boeing 767-300F is the
backbone of TVA's medium to long haul freighter fleet. The
company currently operates 5 examples, G-TVAB, G-TVAC, G-TVAD,
G-TVAE and G-TVAH - all based at our primary hub East
Midlands Airport.

Boeing 757-200 Freighter
To supplement our
medium haul fleet, we have recently (March 17th) leased 2
757's from DHL. In a deal signed with our East Midlands
neighbour, these 2 aircraft (G-BIKO and G-BIKP) will operate
on behalf of TVA with TVA aircrew but will operate from the
western cargo area and will be handled by DHL ground staff.
The initial lease period is 6 months but during this period
we will evaluate the effectiveness of the 757 and it's
suitability within the TVA fleet. If we conclude that the
757 adds to our operational effectiveness we will then
extend the lease period while we source permanent
replacements.
