Can someone tell me the latest on the operation and their 2 DC8 62s?

Thanks

Well with oil at $108/barrall and rising I would say quiet an expensive operation.

Noticed 'em at COO about a month ago, and spoke to the F/O, and he said they had a lot of business in the works....nice clean aircraft, too.

According to recent U.S. DOT filings, AIA has been approved for U.S.
operations. I wonder if the the new aircraft will be used to expand
their service to North America?

Do they still have a old grumpy loady from Kent UK ??

That would be nice. If you do hear anything please let AIA Engineering know cos we are always the last to hear about anything.

Let alone getting new aircraft, hear theyre again trying their damnest to sell the company.

Nevermind the grumpy ol loady when are they gonna shake the two old muppets at Crawley

Dear Coleman

You better watch out mate, any negative comments about AIA on here and you get snotty messages from them!!

Anyway, have they had a clearout at AIA HQ? Only two muppets still there lol?

The grumpy loady from Kent is a diamond chap you might be mistaking him for the one that lives near BZZ??

Kind Regards

Deisel862 .I see that you still have some personal problems with AIA, at least your last spurious rumour came to nothing or was it just to ferment unrest amongst the staff



Maybe you should refrain from putting foot in mouth in future

Be good and the Muppets wont get you..........

The muppets are actually top blokes who have kept the men in jobs for a long time so respect to them .. they rank with the Mike Krugers of the Freight Dog world !!!. They are still grumpy though especially Uncle B ..

AIA still alive and kicking

looking daily into the arrivals of OST ( as I flew there a couple of years ago on B707)
they just came today from Caribbean or South America, with fuelling in Santa Maria (Açores)

The way they maintain these things, they be flying for another 100 years....

best you wear your running shoes the next time that you see him, or better still boxing gloves
Dont think so Ive picked him up off lots of bar floors most in CDG
ALL THE BEST

By your comments you may have worked for these Guy's in the past or fellow comrades who have , Remember they are operating DC-8'S
Probably only allowed into Ostend , what chance do they have ,the AFRICAN market has dried up ,at the moment !!!!!!!!!!


They have a license to fly to the States but big but , why use an 8 when you can hire a 747/DC-10/A300/ ETC ETC

I'm sorry but it's another Airline falling by the way side because of the Global /infrastrure we all live in,

MR S.....CKS Could have renewed his fleet a long time ago !!!!!!!!!

Ex Dog:

How many A300/DC10/B747 are available within a day for a 3-5 days longhaul charter around the globe? Let me know...really.

I think they are rather rarely seen at OST, but just about anywhere else these days, because they are bloody busy.
They could drop the "African" from their name and it would be alright.

They could always rename themselves IAS

Again , it can't happen African International have a place in Cargo History ,just like DAS AIR Cargo ,the world changes too Quickly , we all look at Cargolux, Atlas ,Polar the Giants of the Cargo World ,even more the China Carriers , but this is Dying ,i agree the real BACKBONE of Africa , hope someone will save African International and Das Air


Just my opionion

To all at DAS and AIA - know you are in our prayers to rise above the challenges that the industry presents in these difficult times.

May you soar again!

AIA are still going strong, one a/c is flying non-stop and will be for the next few weeks, whilst the other is due a B check and has flts after that.

Don,t write them off yet

Fluffy flyer, we haven,t heard your anti AIA vitrol for quite a while. still having problems finding a life

Lets just hope the Bird keeps Flying , skies all over would not be the same without a DC-8 ,Whether good or bad
