AirRep to Add More Tupolev Planes

Britain`s AirRep Group is planning to operate up to five 27-ton-capacity Tupolev Tu-204-100C freighters by 2003, the company said on Monday.

AirRep has been using one Tu-204 freighter for about a year, which is used mainly by TNT operating dual rotations five nights per week between its Liege, Belgium, hub and Scandinavia, a statement added. The TNT contract for the aircraft, which is based at Hahn and has a range of up to 4,300 kilometers, has been renewed until 2001, after an initial three-month trial.

The aircraft now in use was the second off the Aviastar production line in Ulyanovsk, the St. Petersburg Times reported.
