BAC Express ATP's?

According to the BAC Express website, they have ordered a couple of E class ATP freighters for delivery towards the end of 2002.

Is this the beginning of the end for the RR Dart powered F27 and 748's in Europe?

So how cheap are these ATPs to get in the current market climate? Haven't West Air got a couple doing Mail work in Sweden.

Freightdoggy:

WAS do indeed operate a couple or 5 ATPs for the Swedish mail service. They have initiated and are in the process of STC'ing a large cargo door conversion. Once the conversion is completed there are rumours that they will be chartered by DHL to replace the 748s.

WAS is a nice little outfit located in the middle of nowhere in Sweden. Nice people, good organistation, long term mail contracts, ad-hoc work around Europe and a few contracts with DHL too.
