I may be behind the times... Isn't Crystal essentially Air Atlanta A310s (ex Islandsflug or somesuch... I stand to be corrected :-) ) Charters?

Correction:- Crystal cargo are SUPPOSED to be operating two Maximus A300F's since May 2009 but since they still cannot get their act together then AAI are still propping up the operation
A330F's, due to be operational September next year, payload around 84000kg so I believe...

Superspotter you are not correct

Maximus have 2 A300 A6-MXA and A6-MXB flying for Etihad since july and sept, the AAI A300 is on lease to Maximus to cover additional flying

Aeroground'
I am a loadmaster with AAI and I fly on the A300 in AUH so maybe I am rather better placed than you to tell you how it is.
The reason we are still there is because Maximus are still not in a position to take on the contract fully and only one of their A300's is available to Etihad at any time at the moment, they are supposed to be getting a third aircraft but apparently there are problems with the paperwork.
