The "new" Southern Air (previous called Southern Air Transport) are picking up the LH aircraft - well at least they have one already and another 2 go to them very soon...

Funny how no European carriers have competed with likes of Atlas / Evergreen / Southern / Polar / Gemini etc...

Closest Europe has are the A300 operators such as ChanEx / Farnair / Air Contractors, but nothing in the DC10/747 area. I recall Cargolux used to do some ACMI stuff but are long since scheduled, even hiring in SAT / Atlas to help with their Panalpina contracts.

Cargolion have just upgraded to DC10 from their old smoking DC-8's...they do some ACMI..

AFX are recent arrival, supposed to be concentrating on scheduled work. Their aircraft are the ex Tigers / Fedex / LH Atlas / Boeing aircraft..with P&W -70A's. Pieces of junk that no-one wanted...

But then again, they are British, and apparently available...
