SkyStar02,
Do not be ridiculous please. Publishing a schedule has nothing to do with security.

I thought security might be the answer ... if it was that secure why do DHL have their whole schedule available on their website?

Ridiculous??

Ridiculous?

In that case I suggest you to write to Mr. Terzakis and/or Mr. Ross Mackinnon and tell them exactly the same you has said to me. If my company tells me to do not tell anyone TNT flight schedule due to security reasons, I'm not going to do it. Regardless if anyone could consider that ridiculous.

Regards!

TNT site

Come now, Limburg. What do you expect from TNT?

Tomorrow Not Today

You should know as A Nederlander, they set low standards and fail to live up to them.

Bakker to leave after TNT surprise split :: Air Cargo News :: The World's Best Read Air Cargo Newspaper

Now, we can wonder what will happen with the LGG hub.
CGN and CDG are very close, but on the other hand LGG is ready for a big expantion and is perfectly located.

Well im not that sure LGG is ready for a big expantion, several sources are reporting they have manipulate everything to get many grants. Till that is not sure nothing will happen at LGG anymore! Other remours are saying TNT is in talk with Metz and Lille too.... So maybe they are in the race for the new TNT hub..

Indeed some jealous people are denigrating LGG. As far as TNT is concerned, they have been looking for an alternate airport for years. This is for operational reason. Now, if TNT leaves LGG one day, there will be a few happy people (the ones referred to here above) and a lot of unhappy ones.

the money you are talking about is indeed something important. LGG is a paradise for many freight companies because of the help of the walloon region goverment. The goal of the government is to create jobs, and it worked/works. 10.000 people are working in/for LGG. Subsidies are common in many place, no need to make a fuzz about it. It's a win-win situation and that's why i'm not affraid for the future of LGG and the future of all the people who get a job in the aviation industry there.

When TNT first came in LGG, it was only a small airport. Now it's the 6th biggest in Europe. Why would you leave that...

If FedEx buys TNT, it's for logistics and RFS. LGG is gone. FedEx can spread the volume between CDG and CGN on its own metal, and absolutely does not want JAA pilots on property.

UPS might keep LGG open as a downsized regional sort center with a flight each to PHL/SDF and HKG.

It would make sense to not keep everything running, that's for sure.
On the other hand, I don't understand why they have both CDG and CGN in the same time. Those 2 are very close to each other. Why not concentrate everything in a single point ?

The "funny" story is that TNT left CGN 10 years ago to come in LGG because it was a much better solution. Isn't it still now ?

It happen that the location of LGG is just perfect, in the middle of CDG and CGN and in the middle of the european most crowded area. And they plan a high speed train cargo link between CDG, LGG and CGN : the carex project.
EURO CAREX : Cargo Rail Express

Everything is almost too perfect.
The main problem is maybe free space. There are plan though : Liege Airport - Mass Plan Evolution

The reason we left Cologne was because the green lobby in Germany was threatening to close CGN to night movements and that would have been a complete disaster.

I believe UPS took over our old freight shed.

Well, LGG might have a new tenant already. Michael O'Leary says he will move Ryanair to LGG if Germany doesn't lower aviation taxes.

We have seen this kind of crapy post on other forums (hidden behind different nicknames).
Please watch your English !

Guggenheim Aviation Partners has selected ST Aerospace for a passenger-to-passenger/cargo (combi) conversion of a Boeing 757-200 aircraft to be used in TNT Airways’ fleet.

TNT Gets PTP Combi

That's interesting, isn't it ?
What kind of destination would they do with pax ?

757 combi would be an ideal airplane to transport militaries, UN, rescue teams, race horses, music bands etc, I guess this is something what they aiming at.

Already involved in horse transport.The 75 is a bit on the large side for race horses. Hopefully they might support the QC 75's better than the 146/73 .They were in the news for all the wrong reasons,with no shortage of very disgruntled punters,a large group of which refused to fly TNT after they experienced a series of crewed in technicals.
Pi55 ups & breweries springs to mind !
P.S. Please don't give my regards to Nick the Greek & the Jock.
