Polar/Atlas
Agree with 411A.
Atlas and Polar operate in conflicting markets.
Both operate under the umbrella of Atlas Air world wide holdings but Atlas is soley charter & ACMI, while Polar is solely schedule.
The problem being that ACMI customers don't like Polar flying near there routes and this can affect the ACMI contracts (emirates?).
Another conflict and rumour, is that because of the upturn in Military charters, Atlas will be "borowing" some of it's sister companies aircraft for charter runs. Leaving Polar with cancelled flights!.
heard they will go down to possibly 7 in their new AMS base!.
obviously trying to make the most money out of the situation, but how do you re-instate those flights at a later date when the charter work dries up and your clients using the scheduled freighters have gone somewhere else!.
