ASL AVIATION GROUP SIGNS LETTER OF INTENT TO BUY LOCKHEED MARTIN LM-100J FREIGHTERS
FARNBOROUGH AIR SHOW -ASL Aviation Group has signed a Letter of Intent with Lockheed Martin to order up to 10 LM-100J commercial freighters.
The LM-100J is the civil-certified version of Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules and is an updated version of the L-100 (or L-382) cargo aircraft. Safair - an ASL associated company based in South Africa - currently operates one of the world's largest L-100 fleets.
"We've long relied on our L-100s to deliver results that no other aircraft can produce. From flying humanitarian relief supplies over rugged African terrain to transporting key cargo within Europe and around the world, no other plane can do what a Hercules can do," said Hugh Flynn, chief executive, ASL Aviation Group.
Lockheed Martin officials submitted a Program Notification Letter to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Jan. 21, 2014, for a type design update for the Lockheed Martin Model L-382J airplane, a civil-certified variant of the C-130J Super Hercules to be marketed as the LM-100J.
The LM-100J will perform as a civil multi-purpose air freighter capable of rapid and efficient transport of bulk and oversize cargo to austere locations worldwide.
