Better performance, greater safety, and more reliability are on the way for Lynden Air Cargo’s distinctive fleet of fixed-wing Hercules air freight carriers. Lynden Air Cargo in early May announced a strategic partnership with New York-based Moog, Inc. to upgrade its fleet of Lockheed Model 382G aircraft with the Genesys Avionics Suite.

The avionics and autopilot modernization program will involve the installation of cutting-edge equipment, software updates, and comprehensive integration testing. The first aircraft is scheduled for completion in 2026.

This initiative maintains our commitment to excellence and enables us to better serve our customers while meeting the evolving demands of the aviation industry. It also underscores Lynden Air Cargo’s dedication to continuous improvement, fuel efficiency, and innovation.”
