They are getting a serious airline now.
From An-12's and 76's (and two DC-8's as well) to 747's in a few years!

I was led to believe that it was still to be operated by Cargolux, is that correct or are they crewing it themselves? ex LX-MCV.

I flew DC-8 for them, they're a joke. Farhad Azima involved in this new type??

superspotter: They will be crewing it themselves; Cargolux has been training several crews already in their facility and network. The captains are coming from the LHS of Azerbaijan Airlines 757s.

Thanks for that RC. So, a standalone operation with no further CLX input? Good luck to them, and that is not meant in a sarcastic way!

I know that CLX had allready operating a 747 for Silk Way for many years now. This one is the first on their own AOC so they will take matters in own hand.
But like Ray said there will still be a big amount of co-op.

Nice, but a little more thought could have gone into the tail logo, IMHO.

IIRC this is the 4Th airline in the CIS using the 747 Cargo, after Georgia's EUREX, and now Armenia's VERTIR and VETERAN. AFAIK the old Air"ImadSaba"Van of Armenia was merely PAX config. Russia besides ABC also had a few years ago the TESIS 747 cargo one. It seems SW Holding Azeri Group SW Holding (http://www.swh.az) tends to get stronger and richer day after day. BTW, Good Looking 74F indeed:ok:
