AFX
AFX number is +44 208 607 5100 fax +44 208 759 6960
email [email protected]
First flight is planned for 02 October 2002. AFX is looking for Flight ops duty officers / first officers / Avionics engineers / station engineer for BAH and HKG / A planning engineer.
All of these would join the existing team who have stayed on to see the company re-launch. 4 complete crews have just finished re-training and another 4 (all from those who were with AFX before) will be re-called soon
This time AFX will be focussed on scheduled services but look out for some surprises in the next few months (all 747).
Wait and see what is going to be painted on the side of G-INTL soon!!

The aircraft is still at LHR, but I've heard it may be off somewhere this week. Another rumour has it that they are looking for crews, but they must be 747 ( Classic ) rated. I hope this is true, as things at EAAC look a bit unstable. Any news posted here would help.

Yotter, No rumours regarding AFX going the rounds here at EGHH. Somebody here thinks some old AFX crews have done sim revalidation at LGW. Last whisper was a couple of weeks ago that it was off to Wales for BA to do a Gear Change and then UK- HKG twice a week via the gulf with a possible tech stop in far east (BKK?), if this is all true then things look fairly promising however the A/C was still at LHR on Thursday (I think) this week.

This was last heard of at Manston - a nose loading B747 freighter, which Airfreight Express operated from 1999 to early this year. I heard Boeing had taken it back, but has it left Manston yet?
I also heard there was a CAA inspection prior to their AOC being reinstated and there seems to be a lot of activity at their base opposite Hatton Cross - anyone know what's going on, if they are recruiting and what are the routes?
Cheers, Y

The buzz here at EGHH is that AFX will be operating from AMS to KL via the Gulf very soon now. The white one needs a new set of wheels but that might be put off for a bit. Some recruiting is going on apparently - Classic current only. Good luck to them if it finally gets off the ground!
