Air Atlantique
 

Does anybody have any information on the Air Atlantique's BAe ATPs. Apparently 2 of them have been observed at Coventry since mid-October. Where will they be operating??? :confused:

:8

Not Air Atlantique but Atlantic airlines, seperate companies now. One ATP will be operating from LTN to BRU, GCI and JER for DHL. One for TNT I have been told and a third aircraft on the way possibly.

Atlantic Airlines
 

Will the ATP of ATLANTIC AIRLINES be replacing the ATR-42 currently doing the LTN-GCI-JER day-stop return.
If so, when will it be taking over??

:ok:

The Air Atlantique ATR42 (currently leased to Atlantic Airlines) operates Luton-Guernsey whilst an Atlantic Airlines Electra operates Luton-Brussels, both flights being operated on behalf of DHL

The ATP is planned to replace both these aircraft by routing Guernsey-Luton-Brussels

Atlantic ATPs
 

With Atlantic ATPs taking over the BRU-LTN-GCI-JER freight contract for DHL from the Electra and ATR42 when will this start???

With Atlantic taking on the ATP will these aircraft be taking up new registrations in line with thare normal out of sequence type registration and if so any ideas??

The two ATPs are currently parked up at Coventry in an all white colourscheme with reg's GBTPH & GMANH

ATP G-MANC
 

With this aircraft comming out of air livery late october all white, could this be the expected third aircraft for Atlantic Airlines out of the rumoured seven they are due to receive?????.

With the the two ATPs already at Coventry they must be close to start operations with these aircraft?????

When they do start on what routes will they have contracts for or will some aircraft be on a stand by bases like the ATR fleet.

The ATRs are operated by Air Atlantique

The ATPs are operated by Atlantic Airlines

different companies

Have you ever tried to get supplemental type certification for a cargo door mod through the CAA?

DHL Contract
 

It does seem a long time before the ATPs come on line the contract to a step backwards this morning back to the forties as the good old GAMRA the Dc3 operated the contract down to the channel islands this morning and it looks like will operate the evening sectors back to Luton at least.

Bring back the Dak all is forgiven.

Was there Atr42 problem this morning that the Dak was brought in??

See Fried Chicken's post three above yours! Different companies!

To put this in english for the benefit of Oshkosh George

Why was the Air Atlantique (French) Dakota operating the DHL contract today instead of the Air Atlantique (French) Atr 42, which would normally operate on behalf of Alantic (English) Airlines contract which the ATP aircraft of said company will operate some time in the future,

We await the result.

Air Atlantique isn't French! They are based at Coventry (in England). The fact that the Daks & ATR are UK registered G- kinda give the game away

I understand there was a problem with some AOG spares not arriving in time for G-IONA, Atlantic's only freight capable ATR and the Dak was brought in to cover.

It's nice to know that in its 70th year the Dak can still do the job just as well, if a little slower, than a substantially younger ATR!

Spelling
 

Thanks for yor comment most normal people would understand the punn.

I know both companies are english it is a play on the words like you should be poulet frete.

It was lost i believe on some people , i do know how the companies came about ,the director of one of these companies resides just up the road.

But lets not get off the reason in the first place, the next forum summed it up, the reason was an A.O.G.problem, for those who do not know the brake down it means, aircraft on the ground so no making of the money.

Will these ATPs have a different door to westeir and emerald aircraft?

Yes,they will have their own door. One aircraft,one door!,they can't share them!:D :D

Don't know the answer,I just feel a bit flippant!

Ah, so i'm not normal or maybe most normal people may think you were referring to Air Atlantique, a FRENCH airline (although they may have gone bust recently but have the SAME spelling as the English airline) who also operate ATRs etc..

Fried Chicken with FRENCH (!!) Fries please
 

Having come with a little french to this wonderful industry, I can see the humour in GBALU53.
Lighten up fried chicken! Don't get your feathers in a twist!! :D

:ok:

atlantics door will be put into an aircraft and then flown....unlike emeralds one ATPF with big door that has just sat and sat and sat in the hangar at blackpool doing nothing...thats the only difference though
