Mountain Air Cargo - Fleet

Fleet

As of March 2011 the Mountain Air Cargo fleet includes :

• 8 × ATR 42-300
• 2 × ATR 42-320
• 3 × ATR 72-202
• 6 × ATR 72-212
• 1 × Raytheon Beech King Air C90B (Corporate use only)
• 5 × Cessna 208A Cargomaster
• 34 × Cessna 208B Super Cargomaster
• 1 × Shorts SH360

NOTE: While some of the ATRs may be found listed as "F" ("Freight") models, all of the ATRs used by Mountain Air were originally built as passenger versions. The "F" designation is properly used only on those that were originally built by ATR as freight versions, or were modified by ATR to their cargo specifications. The ATR's in service for FedEx were modified to their particular specifications by a contractor other than ATR.

Due to the economic downturn, in 2009 FedEx opted to put several of the earlier model C208 aircraft into long-term storage at their hub facility in Memphis, Tennessee. An undetermined number of these aircraft will eventually be retired.

Mountain Air Cargo was once the largest operator of Fokker F-27s in the world. All of these aircraft have now been retired. One of them, N705FE, is on display at the Hickory Aviation Museum, Hickory, North Carolina.
