It'll soon be based at STN working for TNT.....

End of Feb, possibly the start of March (Subject to change)

[SpringHeeledJack]

Is it owned by a German company ? I'd be surprised if it's Swedish having those colours, specifically those 3 colours and not blue and yellow.

Will the Atlantic 767 not be running out of CVT?

[DVR7R]

CVT

This aircraft will be based at STN for the time being.

[DVR7R]

Operating STN-LGG 99% of the time.

I was unaware that the 767 could operate into CVT?
I understand that they had an A300 in there before(?), but I'm not sure about the 767 ever getting in there.

CVT 767

Yes you are right, CVT runway is 2008 M and 767 requires 2431/200 / 2635/300.
I know that WA were putting 767 roles (fitters/engineers etc) out from CVT so presumed that they would run them in there for maintenance/checks.


Cheers

[DVR7R]

I would imagine they are based there but ready to travel.

I could be wrong. It would be good to see a 767 at CVT

[Mr @ Spotty M]

It not owned by a German company and is leased from a USA company.
It will not be going to CVT for maintenance as the hangar checks (C Checks) will be performed by MAEL.

It not owned by a German company and is leased from a USA company.

That's no surprise, as I understand it German bureaucracy makes for expensive operational costs. My tongue in cheek remark about Germany was due to the colour scheme that resembles the national football jersey of said land.

This bird is still on remote stand and BHX and has been for a couple of weeks, still on N reg also, anybody know the plans to put her onto service with WA?

[DVR7R]

She should be working LGG-STN on Sunday 29th March so I would imagine the aircraft will be moving soon.
