Lockheed Martin introduced Pallas Aviation as the first LM-100J commercial freighter operator on Thursday. The LM-100J is a production variant
of the proven C-130J Super Hercules, which is the military airlifter
of choice for 18 nations around the world.
Pallas
Aviation will provide management services and operational control of
two LM-100J aircraft requiring heavy-lift/oversized cargo capability
into and out of unconventional airports and remote locations for a
specific set of clients in multiple industries. Pallas will operate
its LM 100Js out of Fort Worth Alliance Airport in Texas.
In
conjunction with this announcement, an LM-100J aircraft will be on
static display at the Alliance Air Show in Fort Worth on
Saturday and Sunday.
Lockheed
Martin introduced the LM-100J freighter in 2014 as an updated version
of the L-100 legacy Hercules commercial variant. Lockheed Martin
delivered more than 100 L-100s to private and government operators
from 1964-1992.
Two
LM-100Js are currently flying in support of FAA type certificate
update testing.
