What will be the impact for the current wet-leased aircraft from Jettime, Bluebird and West Atlantic, flying for TNT Airways?
ASL is slowly but surely getting a monopoly on narrowbody and turboprop Cargo ACMI.

FedEx to maintain major hubs in Liege, Paris CDG and Cologne following "historic" TNT acquisition - Air Cargo News
"We will have three primary hubs in Europe (CDG, LGG, CGN), but that doesn’t mean we don’t have other important facilities, we just opened new facilities in Copenhagen, Milan and Stansted"
So, 6 hubs in europe ? Really ?
How many of those are open 24/7, no slots and a lot of room for expansion ?

Keeping LGG is no surprise.
#1 CDG and CGN cannot take on the LGG volume.
#2 TNT received significant government subsidies that must be repaid if employment at LGG falls. FedEx took on the obligation by buying TNT.

ok if they have no choice for that one, do they have the choice for the other 2 ?
Fedex 777 are flying between CGN and CDG, that's already a short distance (40 min flight time), it would be a bit mad to see LGG-CGN

CGN is rather small compared to LGG. Plus the place is UPS country... CDG is FedEx's second largest hub after Memphis. Dozens of flights route through it on a daily (nightly...) basis. 1900 people are employed there. The sort centre has recently been vastly expanded. And FX even manage aircraft movements there with their own ground frequency. In other words, they have been given a lot of leeway to do their own thing. The French authorities will bend over backwards to keep them there (as they did to get the hub there in the first place) for economic and employment reasons. Full stop.

Some news :
How TNT Acquisition Is Driving FedEx's European Growth - Market Realist
The 2 744 are out of the game already, OO-THA is mainly flying for ElAl, OO-THB is grounded in HHN.
The 3 777 are still around, but it seems the LGG-JFK route is 'sometimes' handled by Fedex 777
No real sign of anything like that... for now

So any news regarding ASL deal? Are they going to expand the longhaul fleet?

FedEx may also gain on a cost front by utilizing TNT’s lower cost of operations at its Liege hub in Belgium. However, FDX has its own hub at Charles de Gaulle in Paris. However, the industrial disputes in France might get in the way of the company’s smooth European operations through that pivot. In addition, the Liege hub is also at the territorial center of a prominent business triangle between London, Frankfurt, and Milan.
