Heard on the grape vine that QF are going to start freighter ops into FRA. Not sure on the routing SYD/???/FRA vs.
Anyone one have any details on the a/c or routing?
With an agreement with CIT in BKK, I would think, as announced about a week ago, in the Thai press.

Does ACMI deal mean the aircraft will wear full QF colours?

Tricky question, could be an advantage to QF Freight promotion? but their core business is Pax and Pax Image rules, they also have full control in this respect and are very protective of their history, perhaps when they get there own frames? Also QF customers (freight forwarders) are only concerned with on time delivery not QF image.
Could look good though Roo bounding through boxes

I believe QF’s intention is eventually to operate daily freighters into Europe? Unsure on the hubs...

GYD = Baku in Azerbaijan, interesting new market for the airline, hope the freighters fly in with will QF livery, considering they will be representing a major airline and Australia in a totally new region.
Another press report mentioned Kazakhstan to be a new route for QF Cargo is that true?

A link to the news, no mention of livery and it also includes Kazakhstan as a market, but the routing above shows Baku.
