Take a look at their website. Avient Limited Specialising in Air Cargo to Africa and the World. Looks like they have it.

MD11 doing Asia - Europe ?
AirCargo News says the new MD11 will operate between Europe & Asia. So not replacing an existing DC10 but adding to the fleet instead ?

Aircraft still in Miami. Probably rectifying a few snags prior to ferry flight. This aircraft was parked up for a long time after the demise of Varig Log so I wouldn't expect it to be that reliable for the first few months of operation. Also Commercial Jet in Miami (the maint provider) is not exactly a KLM or SR technics !

MD11F Z-BAV is up and running. It just landed in Liege again as SMJ374F from Shannon. Mode S was showing something completely different. Crew had a clear Portugese accent, most likely they stayed with the aircraft as it migrated from Brazil

Good luck
Good luck to all at Avient - met these chaps and a super bunch. It takes guts to look forward in these hard times - it's all too easy to give up and throw everything and everyone on the scrap heap - the new bird is a credit. Here's to happy flying.

Avient MD11 down ?
Singapore Straits Times says a MD-11F registered in Zimbabwe crashed on take-off at PVG. Four accounted for, three missing.
How many MD11Fs are on Zimbabwe register ?

Trust that the world will now sit up and pay attention.
Is the Zimbabwean CAA type rated to register, certify, regulate and oversee MD-11's, DC-10's, and IL-76's.
Also time for the world and especially the EU to question why Avient fly on a second-rate degenarated to third world standard registry of convenience, but are allowed to base themselves in and operate permanently in and out of Europe.
Why the European Union allowed the two ex-DAS DC-10's to operate like this based and flying in and out of Europe, if because of their age and condition they were banned when flying for DAS.
Regret to say, this was coming. Post your real name and address before attacking someone by name. CR2.
Condolences to families and friends, and may crew RIP.

Seems as though Z-BAV overran runway 35R (4000 meters/13123 feet long) on take-off and burst into flames.
Crew were taken to local hospitals, where three died. Three of the survivors received minor injuries, the fourth received serious injuries but is in a stable condition.
