cargo b third aircraft
 
Has cargo B made the decision yet as to whether the third a/c is a classic or a 400erf.Has anybody heard anything, cheers.

It will be an ERF. Starting the end of October.

MatsL 18th September 2008 07:42

I am in a shortlist of candidates for their third aircraft but it does not look so good right now :confused:. Does anyone know if they are aiming for two or three 400 aircrafts?

747Comet 22nd September 2008 14:43

a -400erf...hmm would like to know where that is coming from..im sure not Boeing..?

Will it be operated by Cargo B or on ACMI lease...?

euroflyer 22nd September 2008 15:22

The plan is a third 747 and this time a 744...
I don't think a fourth or fifth aircraft is likely so for now I believe you can expect to see a single 744 flying for Cargo b.
Anybody know under which registration? Where it's coming from?
Good luck to them

clearedIFR 23rd September 2008 13:37

hi

Sorry Matsl but next year only 2 B747-400ERF

Cargo Bru
 
they struggled the first year, they will stumble thru the future as well like most of the other small cargo operators that try to survive with only 1 or 2 machines.

I share the pain of all f/e's that'll loose their jobs as well as all other pilots who have been fired (I hear they only fire foreigners :eek: smells fishy!).

euroflyer 23rd September 2008 14:55

Confirmation today from an insider that 742 is being phased out and will slowly be replaced by 744F.
The first one is expected in a month or so...
Expensive machines though!

747Comet 23rd September 2008 15:38

Does any one know if this really is an ERF or a conversion?

Would like to know if it is indeed an ERF how they have managed to get a slot on the production line at such short notice.

I know of no carriers that have not taken up the delivery of a brand new 747-400ERF..does any one else..?

My guess either a BCF or they have leased it from another carrier.

They were very lucky to retain their investor!!

belgianconnection 23rd September 2008 16:28

its not an ERF just a brand new 400F....

DIRRIK 24th September 2008 06:47

Which airplane is it? They are just going to wet lease one from somebody?

744rules 24th September 2008 11:46

according to CBB ground staff a brand new one, strait from Seattle.

747Comet 24th September 2008 12:19

Hearing now that Cargo B has been sold to Asiana and the -400F is coming from them, has any one else got this info..?

Engineer 24th September 2008 14:21

2 400F and 1 SF on the market and available now from China Airlines unless Cargo B done a deal with their neighbor CV because their 2 400Fs have been removed from the advertised sale sheet. But again both MK and Cargoitalia are queuing to purchase/lease as well maybe these guys are in the running to :)

747Comet 24th September 2008 14:28

Latest update...

Cargo B has struck a deal with NAS, and is leasing two -400F from ANA.

Not sure about Cargoitalia or MK getting 400s, but how long can other carriers continue to operate the classics

charter man 24th September 2008 15:58

Busy day
 
Wow - that is a busy day, sold to Asiana and took on a 744F, then did a deal with Cargolux for 2 744F, then did a deal with NAS(?) taking 2 x 744F from ANA (who don't own any). Come on chaps, I know this is a rumour forum but get a grip.

acmi48 25th September 2008 11:27

anything is possible nowadays
heard also it was via northern lease/iceland for the ex jal 400sf coming out of conversion with b-dek
