Thanks El Bunto, and sorry for the late reply!
I wonder if these tenders ever get made public (as per "normal" high value tenders)? It would be interesting to keep track of the networks more than anything. I know the most recent Royal Mail network (in the UK) was publicly tendered for.
Indeed it is going to be an interesting time when the Fedex & TNT networks merge, as there is bound to be spare capacity that can be got rid of through merging the two. That Swiftair E120 runs from Belfast to Birmingham, where it meets the 757 from Manchester to Paris. They also have early evening runs from Manchester (ASL ATR72) and Glasgow (Swiftair E120) to Stansted presumably to meet the USA flights.
