I have been informed over this last week that TNT parked its final Airbus A300 'Classic' Freighter @ MHV in December 2009. Recently Air Atlanta Icelandic Airbus A300-605F aircraft began appearing on the LGG-BFS weeknight rotation which operates via EMA. There appear to be two aircraft operated in a plain white c/s and I for one will miss the aircraft they replace, a common sight @ EMA since 2001.

At the moment there is only one AAI A300-600 operating for TNT on the BFS-EMA-LGG-EMA-BFS run. The second aircraft is due to join TNT around the 21st of this month based in LIN, doing LIN-LGG-LIN sectors. regards clive.

Hi Fellows,

I heard of a rumour about three 767's coming to TNT. Is that true?

Thanks!

One Outsider

The fact that you have heard about it, probably means that there is no truth to it.


-And what would they need them for?

superspotter

Wrong!!
There are currently three ABX 767's on contract to TNT flying from Liege to the states and back.

I know of one ABX 76 for sure where are the other two??? The same 76 flies the run 5 days a week. On ocassion there is another charter out of LGG.

Thanks everyone for the answers. As I thought, another rumour which is not true.

I've never seen more than ABX 767 flying for TNT. I think they usually fly LGG-JFK-LGG route.

Regards and happy landings.

Considering they closed STN Tech' services & made a bunch of great folks redundant I wouldn't expect too much to be occuring this side of the channel
(allegedly)

ABX just picked up TNT run Stanstead- Leige- Stanstead starting next week.

other rumours are talking about Liege-Manchester-Liege with a 767 (ABX ?)
and a new Liege-India link

mmeteesside

Can't see Manchester being true given they already have an A300 to EMA!

Nieuwsblad Transport - TNT versterkt vrachtvloot met extra B747
Sorry, in Dutch...
This is about bringing in a third B747 on China-Europe service (Liege Belgium).

TNT purchased two 767-200 aircraft which will be converted to freighters, they took an option on two more. Belgian CAA are currently certifying the planes. They will go online this summer and will be used on the East Midlands, Stansted, New York and Helsinki routes. The next two will be used to develop South American routes. Sao Paulo is rumoured to be a new destination when 767 #3 and #4 come online.

That's good news. Really hope they are going to make some more business this year...(recruitement?)

767-200 on the line towards south america ?
can somebody tell me how they can make profit with such flights?

a 767-200/ER can only take 40 tons of cargo on a flight of 6h30

my thoughts are that they wil go via Dakar for refeuling ?

so lets take 10 hrs enroute , included the stop at dakar ... with only 40 tons ?

if it was a 767-300ERF i would say yes but with a 767-200 ????

When your cargo pays you 30 bucks a kilo, you can fly whatever equipment.

Hello,

Initially the first B767 will be used on the LGG-EMA-BFS route
The second will be on the LGG-JFK route (and replace the ABX 767)
The third maybe should be used on the LGG-LIN or LGG-HEL route, or maybe Sao Paulo but there's nothing confirmed on the 3rd aircraft.
The aircrafts would also be available for charters for other costumers during days or week ends.

It's not yet sure if they will be registered in Belgium, as the Belgium CAA is not very fast in registering aircrafts, but they are intended to be flown by their belgian crews.

Unions and management have reached an agrement, and will ask to pilots to work more (around 2 days/month) so they will not need to hire new pilots to fly the first 2 767s, internal promotion will be enough
Intially the 767s will be flown by Parc or freelance pilots, to give time to TNT to train their own pilots.

Cheers
