Reliant Airlines Cargo MD-11F

Reliant Airlines began operations in the 1967 with a pair of Lockheed L-100s, flying government contracts out of their base in Charleston, South Carolina. By the late 1980s, the airline had grown to operate a small fleet of 727s under charter, and a larger cargo fleet consisting of DC-10s and 747s, and additionally had expanded to include Cincinnati, Anchorage, Miami, and Huntsville bases. In the 1990s the airline acquired a fleet of MD-11Fs and 747-400Fs, in addition to retired passenger converted aircraft to replace the older 747s and DC-10s. As of 2016, the Reliant Airlines fleet consists of the 747-400F, MD-11F, 757-200F. However, modernization of the fleet is still on the table.
