LADE - Fleet

Fleet

The LADE - Líneas Aéreas del Estado fleet consists of the following aircraft (as of June 2012):

• 1 De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter
• 4 Saab 340B

Those aircraft are for regular flights.

The air force cargo fleet is leased by LADE, consisting on:

• 2 Lockheed Martin C-130H Hercules
• 1 Lockheed Martin KC-130H Hercules

The two surviving Lockheed Martin C-130B Hercules were retired by the air force in September and December 2011 respectively, while the sole Lockheed Martin L-100-30 Hercules has been inoperative since early-2010.

There is a Presidential Fleet which is normally not assigned to LADE:

• 1 Boeing 757-200 Callsign Tango 01
• 1 Fokker F28 Mk4000 Callsign Tango 02,
• 1 Fokker F28 Mk1000 Callsign Tango 03,

The rest of the fleet is inoperative:

• 2 Boeing 707-320B
• 6 De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter Series 200
• 2 Fokker F28 Mk1000

As of June 2012, the LADE schedules show that nearly all flights are operated by Saab 340 aircraft, with the Fokker F28 fleet flying exclusively for the air force. Fokker F27s were withdrawn from the LADE schedules in April 2009, although have since been known to sporadically operate LADE flights now and again.
