Kalitta Air parks 8 aircraft

[GlueBall]

There are some -400s that are older than classics . . .

With the huge cut in fuel prices, the classics are far from dead. In fact I still see Qantas -300s in operation; not to mention Saudia "HZ" registered classics appearing at asian airports. Some of these classics, in fact, were still coming out of the factory in 1990, two years after the first flock of -400s had rolled out.

Any update about the probable cause of multiple engine failure of Kalitta's B742F takeoff crash at BOG?

So what's the story with Air Atlanta and the Malaysian contract? Thought that was doing well and recently took on more aircraft?

[atlast]

The scuttlebutt is that Malaysian have been shopping around. A A I are pretty D**n cheap but there are even cheaper operators coming on the scene! Nothing more....

AIA was purchased by Kitty Hawk, it then became Kitty Hawk International. Connie was part of the BOD and was given his golden parachute and asked to leave. KHI then closed the doors soon their after, Connie had no part of the closure. With in a few months Connie had purchased the certificate, three aircraft and started what is known as Kalitta Air.

Kalitta Learjet - N72CK

Has Kalitta parked the Learjet N72CK?

Fuel sin't the only reason for the high cost of the classics. Part 26 created for aging aircraft and the increased inspections and repairs plays a large part. Ther emay be some -300 running around for many more years but the -200 are coming to end of their life sadly to say.

[klipper11]

It shows 72CK as a 35A now, the 25 has been parked

Not yet, still waiting for a prelim on BOG

It has now been been almost a year since Kalitta's horrific BOG incident. The NTSB has yet to issue it's final report. . . . . . Anyone with contributory info on how the BOG crew has fared since last July?

[SNS3Guppy]

Some of the crew returned to fly the line, some have not. Beyond that, as you stated, it's still an open investigation.

[L-38]

Thank's SNS . . . was especially concerned about the mech and FE as they seemed to have then fared amongst the worst.
