OK, it's time for a reality check.
ONE: DHL Air is fully owned by DHL. DHL Air has a UK Air Ops Certificate with all the implications of UK FTL, etc. Twenty three 757s are planned to be operated, all on the DHL Air fleet, on the UK register. Current plans envisage six in operation by end March 2002. The first (CATIII and MNPS approved) 757 renders good service. The second is in the paint shop at Southend, having been delivered there from TLV two weeks ago. All management and technical positions within DHL Air are currently filled. However, more will become available as the airline expands. All, repeat ALL, pilot applicants will be required to have the appropriate UK CAA/JAA licences and will be required to undertake and pass the selection procedure. As always, a 757 type rating would be advantageous.
TWO: SAFAIR, the parent company of ACL is involved in a deal which will lead to the transfer of the A300s to EAT in Brussels. Crews currently on the A300 will have the opportunity to transfer to EAT, in Brussels, on EAT terms and conditions.
THREE: The 727 fleet will gradually be phased out. This will leave ACL operating the Aeropostal contract with five or less aircraft.
FOUR: Mr. Hugh Flynn is replacing Mr. Trevor Jones as Managing Director of DHL Air. Mr. Jones is returning to his position within DHL.
FIVE: That's it. Do we all get the picture now?
