The system carries a deliverable load of 37,000 liters per flight Uploads in 40 – 45 minutes and downloads in 45 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the hoses and pumps at the receiving airfield Hosting IL-76 aircraft is refueled simultaneously to the ABFDS with a second truck to reduce turnaround time
