The Dc-8-71 was sent back to owner. The one ABSA has now is a -61 which has been doing the VCP/MAO/VCP route carrying Central Bank money. The 767 hasn´t stoped one day since Jan 18th when it arrived from SCL. I have only been able to spend couple of days at home in Rio since then. As for the owner of the company, ABSA belongs to a holding group named Coeto brothers who bought LAN Chile out of Chileans govt. Actually the group now is called LAN GROUP (Latin AMerican Network) and has its pax and cgo branches. On the cargo side stands LAN Cargo, MAS Air from México, Florida West in Miami and ABSA in Viracopos. All flying new B767-300F. Plans for ABSA´s near future (prob MAy or June) is a another DC8-71F and B767-300F. See u guys at the Summerfield Suites.
