Our Aircraft
Janes Aviation operates the BAe (HS) 748 Aircraft.
Originally designed to satisfy the requirements as a replacement for
the Douglas DC-3 with the prototype first flying in 1960. It is a twin
turboprop regional dedicated freighter powered by Rolls Royce Dart
engines and fully compliant with all Mandatory Modifications, including
Stage 3 Noise, EGPWS, ELT, TCAS 2 with the added benefit of a transverse
cargo net modification to supplement the approved and installed Class
E compartment.
Ideal for dedicated low utilization contracts where
the economics of later generation aircraft such as the ATR 42 are not
cost effective. Over the years 1960-1988 nearly 400 BAe 748s were built
with more than 200 aircraft remaining in service today. (Source BAE – link

in specialist roles. Both BAE and Rolls Royce have committed to continuing
support until 2015. The BAe748 can operate off licensed airfields of
950mtrs with 55 cu.mtrs and over 6000 Kgs payload – what else
can match it?
