BETA Cargo

There used to be a Beta Cargo in Brazil with 707s. Are they still around? Do they have a website?

BETA is still going, although they are caught up in a scandal involving overpriced contracts for the Correios (Post office). They have one(?) DC-8 and apparently still operate 707s to Porto Alegre (according to the airport site).

The closest I can find to their own site is

http://www.bxbex.com.br/

which lists 4 x 707 as the fleet. I have seen a DC-8 in their colours at Guarulhos recently and AFAIK their current fleet is 1 x DC-8 and 2 x 707.

Hope that helps
