I may be behind the times... Isn't Crystal essentially Air Atlanta A310s (ex Islandsflug or somesuch... I stand to be corrected :-) ) Charters?

Correction:- Crystal cargo are SUPPOSED to be operating two Maximus A300F's since May 2009 but since they still cannot get their act together then AAI are still propping up the operation :)
A330F's, due to be operational September next year, payload around 84000kg so I believe...

Superspotter you are not correct

Maximus have 2 A300 A6-MXA and A6-MXB flying for Etihad since july and sept, the AAI A300 is on lease to Maximus to cover additional flying

I am a loadmaster with AAI and I fly on the A300 in AUH so maybe I am rather better placed than you to tell you how it is.
The reason we are still there is because Maximus are still not in a position to take on the contract fully and only one of their A300's is available to Etihad at any time at the moment, they are supposed to be getting a third aircraft but apparently there are problems with the paperwork.
