Is LUX a new destination for SV Cargo?

[layinlow]

The aircraft is a TF registry, the Kingdom is HZ. Who is TF?

[CR2]

Air Atlanta.

CV do a lot of their maintenance.

Think that the topic header should be....

Air Atlanta lease B744 BCF to Saudia LUX not a destination but as CR2 has stated the aircraft probably underwent maintenance with CV.

Saudia/Air Atlanta 744

It is an ex Singapore 747-412 operated by Air Atlanta and it is not a BCF but an SF converted by Bedek.

TF = Icelandic registry

[newscaster]

All passenger 744 conversions are now being called BCF regardless of wherever they are converted or by whomever, no more SF label for them.

BCF stands for Boeing Converted Freighter to make clear that this is an original Boeing Kit for conversion, done by different companies. Bedek industries developed their own conversion kit based on their former -100/200/300 conversions under their own STC.
These Bedek converted airplanes can not carry the Boeing designator and are titled SF or BDSF. Air China, Asiana and Air Atlanta chose these conversions for example.
