The European Commission has apparently given unconditional approval regarding the acquisition.

I guess there are still no news yet for the future of the airline?

TNT is currently increasing its long haul destination list (esp. to the US) tanks to agreements with QR, using LGG as hub.
Doesn't look like a dying airline.

Of course it doesnt look like a dying airline. Actually the opposite is happening. But my question was referring after the FedEx buyout what will happen.

ASL Win
 

:ok: ASL have been confirmed as taking TNT Airways and Pan air as suspected.

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.

and Ukrainian and Atran ? :E

From :
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 ?

Interesting quote
"And asked about the sale of the TNT aircraft to ASL Aviation, Bronczek revealed that FedEx would keep a “few” of TNT's Boeing 747 aircraft"

Here it is... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4j8...RaJFZ7Z3iybgjO

Can anyone please advice on the current hiring situation? Thank you

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.

Cheers

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

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

The two weekends of LGG-JFK-LGG ops "handled" by a FedEx 777 are being handled on a charter basis. Maybe a TNT 777 is on C check?

nope, all 3 busy from FR24.

Ok. Regardless the FedEx ops for the past two weekends are charters.
