AeroLogic Call Sign
I have noticed an AeroLogic 777 arriving at CVG in the U.S. For DHL. I have not been able to find the flight info on Flight Aware etc. Can someone tell me what AeroLogic uses for an ATC call sign?
Thanks! |
German Cargo, me think.
|
IATA Code : 3S
ICAO Code : BOX |
it is definitely german cargo

def not it's BOX... esp to CVG which is a DHL Hub. Think occasionally they fly for LH cargo so might be German Cargo calls signs |
I think the two of you are getting confused here.
The ICAO code is BOX - as used for flight planning purposes and which will show up on flight tracking programmes, flightradar24 and the like. Any printed schedules will be prefixed with 3S. I can personally attest that their r/t callsign as used in communication with ATC is German Cargo. Any flights done for LH Cargo would presumably use their r/t callsign of Lufthansa Cargo. A similar analogy is BA ICAO BAW IATA BA R/T callsign Speedbird |
Thanks all for the info.

Slightly off thread...
What happened to the callsign " nitro " ? |
all correct what Flightwatch said except for the fact that all flights including LHC flights have the "German Cargo" Callsign.
Cheers |
LHC I hear them just calling "Lufthansa", followed by flight number "8xxx"

Hi everybody,
Aerologic: ICAO Radio Callsign: German Cargo ICAO 3 letter code: BOX Lufthansa Cargo: ICAO Radio Callsign: Lufthansa Cargo ICAO 3 letter code: GEC Rgds Markus |
Overun,
"NITRO" was the callsign of the TNT flights under the Air Foyle AOC. Since the transfer to TNTs own AOC the callsign is the awful "Qualitay", the 3 letter code is TAY. I always thought "NITRO" was one of the most apt callsigns ever. Our callsign is "Eurotramp", sorry "Eurotrans". |
Radarix is right. Callsign is German Cargo and Lufthansa or Lufthansa Cargo for Lufthansa Cargo.
BTW Lufthansa Cargo used to be German Cargo until 1993 Photos: McDonnell Douglas DC-8-73AF Aircraft Pictures | !!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
lf l remember correctly the first call of " quality " was in Feb/Mar of 2001.
Met with gales of laughter at the time on radio. The callsign " Nitro " was dynamite, the rumour was it was sold off, after the new name lottery was won by the wife of a Belgian boss. Thanks Roger. But. Where has it gone ? |
IATA: 3S
ICAO: BOX Days 1 thru 5 they operate DHL routes, days 6 & 7 they operate for Lufthansa... Joint venture remember... "German Cargo" unless its Saturday or Sunday... :ok: |
no change on weekends
And even on Saturdays or Sundays the call sign remains the same: "German Cargo"
|
box

D-AALA (B77F BOX) 1831 20110110 3S0413 (KORD-EDDF) |
..so whats the problem then: :cool:
18 posts for just a callsign question........interesting :rolleyes: callsign is German Cargo. of course you can always use instead your icao flight-plan designator if you like which is spelled Bravo Oscar X-ray then - and should not only just BOX like. e.g. Bravo Alpha Whiskey or Speedbird |
