Afraid to say you are incorrect, Atlantic Express no longer exists. Air Atlantique is the operating company of the ATRs, Metro, Citation and the other operating companies of the group are Reconaissance and the Classic Flight. Atlantic Airlines operates the Electras and ATPs and is a totally seperate company now.

And the An-72.
Airlines have been leasing an ATR-42 from Atlantique to do mail flights from LTN recently though.
Confusingly enough though, Atlantique seem to answer the phone as "Atlantic"

"Air Atlantique Express"
Haven`t heard that one before ! I personally think Air Atlantique needs to change it`s name/branding completely, there`s just way too much confusion to the outside world! Mind you, that would probably involve another office move, we don`t want to encourage any more of them, it`s like playing hide and seek with ops every time I go to work !

Atlantic Express
Conc
If you do a search on Google under "Atlantic Express" you will see a .co.uk address which takes you to the website that has all the details of the proposed JER services (and it does say Operated by Air Atlantique)

I stand corrected.
However, Atlantic Express is a former arm of the company that was buried a few years ago.
News of its re-invention has not even been heard at HQ!

Atlantic Express doesn`t exist, YET !
It`s just a happy coincidence that the chairman has decided to pull the Atlantic Express banner out again, let`s see what happens first ! Suppose the name is slightly more user friendly than Air Antique (sorry Atlantique) now that passengers are going to be booking tickets online !

The first ATP (G-BTPH) is in full working condition on the Italian route (Catania-Bari-Bologna) and has been since January 30th. The second aircraft is about 2 weeks from completion and will fly the Luton route.
G-BTPH at EGBE

ATP ops
Nice to see the ATP in operation.
Has there been a few tech problems with the ATP last week on the Channel Island run??
Last week on a number of occassions the mighty Electra has operated the sevice all be it a bit late, or is it a case of due weather in the Channel Islands there has been a back log of contracted freight so a bigger aircraft was required??

The reason for Atlantic Airlines getting the ATPs in the first place (apart from the fact that they are quite cheap now) is that the Electra was oversized for some routes (15t capacity) and has had some reliability problems as of late. As good as they are, these planes are, after all, about 40 years old.
I only wish they would have gone for the ATR 42/72 freighter instead (but I'm being very partial here)!
Cheers

Pretty bad weather, but nothing to stop the ATP flying into the Channel Islands.
A few technical probs wth the ATP in the first week or two, so the Electra filled in to cover the route for a couple of days.

The ATP has numerous unique attirbutes over the ATR making it more ideal for certain cargo operations. It also has low lease rates at this stage in its life cycle, ideal for low utilization routes.
Spiralling fuel prices will probably keep the ATR out of the freight market in the main for a few years to come whilst demand from the regionals outstrips supply, with lease rates to reflect.
