Canada Air Charter
Canada Air Charter are planning to damp-lease 3 747-200s from European Aviation Air Charter based at Bournemouth (EGHH) in the UK. EAAC is owned by Paul Stoddart who owns the Minardi F1 team, hence a 747 is used to ferry the Minardi team to the non-European F1 races. The current plan for CAC revolves around the following:
3 EAAC 747s to be based in YMX. Flight deck and IFD from EAAC, probably on 3-week rotations. Remaining crew Canadian. 100 Canadian crew have already been hired and training is taking place at the moment. More EAAC crew are likely to be involved in the early stages for training.
The first 747 is due to fly out to YMX on Fri 14 Jun.
3 routes are planned for the 747 at present:
Montreal - Lisbon - Madrid - Montreal
Montreal - Rome - Tunis - Rome - Montreal
Newark - Montreal - Dakar - Abidjan and reverse
