Russian Cargo Aircraft Lands At Bermuda Airport

An Aviacon Zitotrans airplane landed at the LF Wade International Airport tonight [December 23] and appeared to be taking on fuel while it was parked at the main terminal.

Aviacon Zitotrans is a charter cargo company with a main base in Yekaterinburg, Russia.

It was established and started operations in June 1995 and operates charter cargo flights worldwide including Canada where it operates on behalf of the Canadian Military.

“Throughout the years, Aviacon’s fleet moved thousands of tons of relief goods, vehicles and trucks, containers, helicopters, and roll-on/roll-off machinery, outsize and heavyweight pieces, from and via more than 700 airfields in 144 countries of the world.”
