GALHI has it about right. The A300s currently owned by EAT will transfer to the OO reg. & the 2 ACL owned units will be dry leased to EAT. The Aeropostal contract will be a dry lease/management contract on Aeropostal owned aircraft. The B727s will be phased out of the DHL network but some (2?) will remain & be operated ad hoc on the EI reg. & the ACL AOC will remain. DHL Air will remain a G- reg. operator and, as far as I know, will not operate either B727s or A300s. There is some confusion as to exactly what where & how regarding ACL & DHL Air, not helped by conflicting memos issued by each side, however the obvious rationalisation of the control & management of the DHL fleet can only increase the effectiveness & guarantee jobs for the ACL guys.

I'm sure that those higher up the food chain know exactly what's happening & we minions will find out in due time. It will be an interesting year but it has in my humble opinion, started on the right note.
