Yikes, I thought that "Saudia Cargo" was the new brand name for Air Atlanta

AA appear to have more aircraft operating in SV Cargo colours than Saudi Arabian Airlines, who are also providing ACMI services. There is also a Turkish registered A310.

Yep, N491EV showed up.

Sidman are you talking about the complete route structure, or just the structure for the EV 747?

Mutt

Apologies for the tailnumber confusion

Last edited by mutt; 3rd Jan 2011 at 15:36. Reason: Wrong tail number

N471EV is not a 400F though, in fact it is one of the oldest 200's around!

N491EV is flying SV and those are the stations we're flying.
N471EV is still flying the line but is getting long in the tooth, probably will be one of the next bunch to retire.

That is just what N491EV is doing. It looks pretty good should get the SV decals on the plane by the end of the month.

Why have SV elected for an Evergreen machine? AAI not able to find an extra frame?

Less expensive, and perhaps...much better service.
AAI is but a shadow of its former self.

Why are you always so bitter in your responses about Atlas?

Lets see now:

50 new Captain upgrades announced last month.
Hiring at a level from 1999
New airframes on order.
Passenger service in full operation and plans for more
Boeing LCF contract

Stock prices of the big ones as of yesterdays close:

AMR 8.10
UAL 25.50
DAL 12.50
UPS 72.80
FDX 93.10
AAWW 54.00

Does not look so bad to me! But what do I know, I've only been here 13 years.

Keep up the bad attitude, it serves you well.

411A

For 411A ,he will most likely shoot it down,facts are not an issue for him.
Atlanta has been unable to secure more 744 for Saudia.
Last year has been the most successful year in 20 year relationship between Saudia and Atlanta,up to 15 747 flying for Saudia,most likely half of them 744.
Hadj was a massive success.
Both companies plan to strengthen the relationship this year

have a good day

strengthen the relationship
Strangely enough, it wasn't that long ago when AAI refused to do business with SVA........

Amazing how times change

Fr8Dog........ you should know 411A behavior at this stage.....

Happy New Year & safe trips!

@Fr8dog
411A still can't get around that he was fired after he almost burnt down an AAI Tristar
