Yes they do have F27s & Sheds, inherited from acquistion of BAC last year. ACL also have ATR freighters and some A300F.
They did have B722F types but I believe both of the remaining two have now gone south and east of Europe!

Didn't ACL also buy out Channex's F-27 fleet? I believe that they plan to retrain the BAC and Channex guys on to the ATR. They have both ATR-42s and ATR-72s now working mainly for Fedex. Do they still have a Herc flying around Europe on the Irish register?

Hello error_401,
As far as I know they have a total of 7 A300F4 and expending rapidly. 3 of those aircrafts operates on behalf of UPS.
Rumors says that 1 more A300 is coming mid March at EDDK.
I do not know the routes details of all those A300 expect that one of them fly to LYS-TLS from CGN.
Talks about adding 3 A300-600 or B767 to be operational this summer. Maybe B777-200LR Worliner Freighter lounch customer!
Happy contrails !

Kuzu
Rumours has it that Kuzu (www.kuzuairlines.com) is taking over the contract in China fromOrex.
Orex is about to bite the dust. People are leaving since they have not been paid for ages.
What can I say, some things never change...
Sorry - a bit o. t.

Saw the Herc in Stansted and one of the ex BAC F-27s in Glasgow. What is ACL like these days? Had several friends go to the 727s with them and said it was a good company but think all have now moved on as 727s withdrawn.
