I heard today - admittedly third-hand - that Ocean are commencing service in the next few weeks using "an AFX B747-200" on a wet-lease basis using "a Bangladeshi AOC and Bangladeshi traffic rights". Presumably it's a sixth-freedom operation over Dacca to China or HKG?

I presume that the reference to "AFX" is actually to Mr PB. Also that the aircraft are the ancient CK B747-200F/-7Js that have been on the market for a while since they bought the two 1981 ex-CAL -7Qs about 18 months ago.

Sounds like a great operation, anyway. I imagine technical despatch reliability will be up there with the very best.
