Just curious here-----I assume the conversion of both a/c to the full rear cargo door mod. will be done "in house" ? --and if so, depending on progress made so far, how long before they will / would be operational ?.

Freight Door
The door whould be put in like the Emerald and the Westair aircraft,
If some of you out the are not up to speed ,the aircraft will be loaded with containers, so will be able to have quick turnarounds
This is why Servisair down in Jersey is required to get the high loader down.
I think i am correct in saying the aircraft will be able to be loaded with at least seven of the containers.
We look forward to the containers and the high loader.

Germstone,
Thanks for the reply. I was actually curious about the Air Atlantique ATP's rather than Emerald's. I was actually under the impression they had been done in the UK, however, no matter.
To clarify another post, as I understand matters, 7 containers should be the load for the converted a/c but I also understood this was dependent on several factors and that 6 would be the more usual option. Again, I could be wrong here.
All that remains now, of course, is for the heaps to remain "S" over two sectors !---any more being a bonus of

ATP containers
From information i have been able to find the aircraft will take eight LD-3s containers with an optional of one LD-3-46 container.
The aircraft just will be able to carry over eight tonnes of freight ,this must mean a good 50 per cent more than the good old budgie.

Germ,
The ATP freighter will carry eight tonnes.
For those who are interested both the Emerald and Air Atlantic Freighters were converted at Romaero,Banesa Bucharest.
I know cos I was there

ATR Sale
Lordsummerisle
Why do you think it points to Air Atlantique, just by some iniatials in an advert pointing the dirrection to Air Atlantique??.
Could they be the ex Air Wales ATR aircraft, one was air tested at Exeter a week ago, there are three in Guernsey being worked upon by Anglo Normandy so could the advert point to some of these aircraft????.

I can see where lordsummerisle is coming from. The advert says "UK based, Charter, ACMI and Scheduled pax business. ATR aircraft fleet (72 & 42's)... sale to include aircraft, ongoing business and existing contracts. Flight crews, cabin crews and other personnel by agreement. The current operation could remain stand alone or could be integrated into an existing operation"
If I am correct Air Wales does/did not have a '72, and is not a current operational schedule airline.
On the opposite page there is an advert for Bravo and their '72 for sale or lease. Bravo is connected to AAQ, in leasing it's aircraft to AAQ and has the same Chairman.
Would be interesting to see who this airline is. But AAQ is the only current UK ATR operator, or are we going to see the Dragon rise from the flames?

Quoted as saying AAQ as the company that may be for sale the ICAO operator for this code is an operator in Finland.
The ICAO code for Air Atlantique is AAG.
I had not seen the advert myself yet.
With some changes in the structure in the Company recently they may be feel the water as one says to find a possible sale.
Some of the ATR fleet i belive operate under AEX which is Atlantic Express, i think is an off shoot of the company and operate with some tie up with Highland Express.

Ok I shall use the correct code AAG, the reason I used AAQ was the code used in house, the same with AAT or AAL. So apologies for the confusion. But as said it has Atlantic written over it.

The advert in Flight the other week was for Air Atlantique, confirmed by an employee within the company. It was also mentioned that none of the staff was aware the proposed sale, until the advert was published.
Atlantic Express is a stand alone part of the Atlantic Group, but they do not own the aircraft, they are leased from Bravo, of which the chairman also owns Air Atlantique as well as Express.
Interesting as well is that the Classic Flight is also up for sale, as advertised in Flight this week. Asking price is for £1m, for which you get 18 aircraft which includes Meteor, Vampire and Canberra.
Interesting times ahead for the aircraft and staff at CVT, fingers crossed they all get good homes.
