ACG Cargo Airlines Germany
 

ACG Cargo airlines Germany,is looking for B744 Crews.Their contact address is Hanh-FRA.Anyone knows more about them?

where did you find this?

You google air cargo germany, you find the contact info on their website (under construction)

ACG
 

www.acg.aero is now online but doesn't look very promising yet.
And Hahn airport is the end of the world, no highway going there, bad train connection, heavy snow during winter....Ryanair drivers know the place.
What I heard through the grapevine is that former LTU guys are running the show there but they are very reluctant to give any details about financing.

Two ex Air China 744 freighter conversions on lease from AAI apparently on their way.

startup ACG
 

I understand they hope to start operations in January 2009

yes thanks

HHN
 

Quote:
True:

HHN is indeed somewhat remote but the good thing about that is the 24/7 operation over there (no curfew!). Road connection is being greatly improved since the current 2-lane B50 is being upgraded to 4-lane expressway (some part have already been completed and opened). Works should finish sometime early 2009 which will cut down travelling time to FRA substantially.
The place can indeed receive a solid amount of snow during winter months but the Airport Authorities have invested millions of Euro's in probably the largest fleet of ultra-modern snow clearing equipment to be found anywhere in Europe. If you happen to stage through HHN just ask the Airport Authorities to tour their 'Winterdienst'storage facilities and you will be amazed!
Finally HHN's people are indeed a pleasure to work with. Always willing to help and they go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I would recommend it over FRA anytime!

I agree with every word from EHRD-0624.

HHN is an X american airforce base but since reverting to civil use it has grown and improved with every month. The service is second to none compared to FRA, everything is close to hand, so no long walks. All the airport staff are very friendly and helpfull.
Yes there are no trains to HHN at present but the structure is there, and as for the road, the E50 goes to LUX (70km) in one direction, and connects to the motorway A61/E31 in the other, most of which is 4 lanes.

ops
 

anybody have any contact phone / email addresses for ops as I cant get an email to work at [email protected]

many thanks

mole man;)

Does anybody know if the Conversion Course start today?

First OCC started already, yes. You can find some more infos here but its all german. The two planes are ex CHINA AIRLINES (CI/CAL) B-18273 and B-18275 currently beeing converted by IAI Industries in Tel Aviv.

wont be nose loaders then, bit limiting for the company

Any news on ACG?
 

Has ACG commenced operations yet? I read today that HSH Nordbank, financiers to Avion Aircraft Trading who in turn are financing ACG's aircraft had been denied €20BN in emergency funding pending fullfilment of certain conditions from the German authorities.

These include restoring it's capital ratios and shifting "unsafe" assets such as exposure to Icelandic institutions into a "bad debt bank"....

Anybody who knows anything about salary ?
Nothing on the ACG site..

Does anybody know if ACG already started their operations?

They are still waiting to get there AOC

hi guys,any news about acg? do they have the aoc by now?:rolleyes:

by the way....
 

..AeroLogic ain't on that list, too !?
yes, no plane sofar, but not even an AOC....?

The list posted by the LBA contains only active AOC. As an holder of an AOC you can request to have it pending. This saves costs. No aircraft or no intention to fly no active AOC required.

There's a rumor about the ACG owner. Isn't he a guy who bought 757 Condor fleet 5 years ago to start Russian VIM Airlines? I've already seen russian money in cargo business - that was Ocean Airlines! :ouch:

Does anybody know if they get their AOC, and when they expect to start their operations?

Hi Folks, very interesting to start a Cargo Airline these times! What do you think they are going to transport!? Most of the major Cargo Airlines are loosing about 30 percent of there flying! Some big players are closing down the hole Operation ( Northwest), so my 50 cents, no way, not yet,
Cheers MD11F

So, does anybody know when they expect to start their operations?
Did they finaly get their AOC?

Patience
 

You can't hurry these things. All wil be revealed shortly. Everything is going according to plan. And if you think these are merely platitudes...just ask Gordon whilst you still have time

Abgehakt!

Never ever.

Sure,

there is simply no market for another cargo operator in germany at present.

Regards

there is only one german cargo carrier...

why not a second one...

Don't forget that within a catchment area of a few hundred kilometers, ACG will also have to compete with Cargolux, Cargo B and TNT, not just German carriers.

I'm not saying it won't work (look at Cargo B, they are still in business, despite all doom and gloom predictions) but ACG is definitely going to be fighting an uphill battle.

speedy

make that two German cargo carriers

LHCargo and Aerologic

Tank2Engine If your going to mention TNT dont forget UPS and DHL with European hubs in CGN and LEJ.

I don't think you can compare "Integrators" (small packages) with heavy freight.

Exactly.

Anyway...my point was that there is competition out there and that they will be in for a rough ride.

AOC issued
 

Air Cargo Germany gets green light for launch.

It looks like they finally received their AOC and will commence operations soon.

We Seem to be Flugelling Today!!
 

Took off this morning ..........sweeeeeeeet !!

Foxy

Good luck to all at ACG!
 

Good news about ACG beginning flying ops today, best of luck to you all, perfect timing following the financial collapse of cargo b in brussels, I am sure you will avoid the mismanagement that plagued cargo b!!! Happy Landings

How is the operation and the future looking now that the AOC has been granted?

ACG
 

For now they trudging backwards and forwards to Tashkent along with everyone else. They will do all right as long as they avoid BRQ and remain flying out of HHN.

I heard sked service is for end of Sept.

Turany (BRQ) Czech Republic? Shouldn't be too difficult to avoid! :zzz:
