Gulf Air, Evergreen sign MoU
[Wednesday, September 28, 2005 10:17:00 am]

Mr Hogan, left and Mr. Smith at the signing Gulf Air has signed a memorandum of understanding with Evergreen to work together on a number of joint venture projects.

The projects include exploring the feasibility of partnerships in freighter operations to serve regional and long haul markets.

The MOU was signed by Gulf Air President and Chief Executive James Hogan and Evergreen International Aviation Founder and Owner Delford Smith, at Gulf Air’s headquarters in Bahrain.

“One of our key strengths is our regional network and our ability to serve key destinations in Europe and Asia,” said Mr Hogan.

“Gulf Air was the first airline in the Middle East to offer an express airfreight service and because we constantly offer the fastest and most reliable express service, we are the acknowledged leaders in that field in the Middle East.

“And such joint ventures with Evergreen, a leader in its field, strive to better our services, which better serve our clients.”

Gulf Air is ideally placed in the Middle East to ship consignments anywhere.

“We at Evergreen are excited to work with this great team at Gulf Air,” said Mr Smith.

“Evergreen is a global leader in cargo operations with Boeing 747. With the different aviation businesses in the Evergreen group of companies, Gulf Air and Evergreen are an ideal fit for future strategies.”

They have also bough an ex-PIA 747-200 AP-AYW, which was the first 747 to join PK's fleet in 1976, its now in the US and will be converted.

Evergreen bought an ex-PIA lump then, not Gulf Air? N489EV in which case to follow in sequence of the 2x ef LH birds. I am sceptical if this venture will ever work. EIA just appointed an agent in Jordan I hear, they seem to be changing their policy on freight agents and GSAs for cargo sales.

The PIA -200 is in MZJ and will be parted out and there might be one more PIA parts plane on the way the tail # on the first was N589EV or 579EV and was flown by a contract crew from PIK to MZJ. The plane was a mess as it was not flown in years. They are looking to pick up 3 more -200's for the airline to fly and they are looking for crews to fly them. Also there seems to be some other things coming up. So it is looking good over here for now...
