AFX
 
AFX number is +44 208 607 5100 fax +44 208 759 6960
email [email protected]

First flight is planned for 02 October 2002. AFX is looking for Flight ops duty officers / first officers / Avionics engineers / station engineer for BAH and HKG / A planning engineer.

All of these would join the existing team who have stayed on to see the company re-launch. 4 complete crews have just finished re-training and another 4 (all from those who were with AFX before) will be re-called soon


This time AFX will be focussed on scheduled services but look out for some surprises in the next few months (all 747).

Wait and see what is going to be painted on the side of G-INTL soon!!



;) :eek: :rolleyes: :p

The aircraft is still at LHR, but I've heard it may be off somewhere this week. Another rumour has it that they are looking for crews, but they must be 747 ( Classic ) rated. I hope this is true, as things at EAAC look a bit unstable. Any news posted here would help.
Cheers, Y

Yotter, No rumours regarding AFX going the rounds here at EGHH. Somebody here thinks some old AFX crews have done sim revalidation at LGW. Last whisper was a couple of weeks ago that it was off to Wales for BA to do a Gear Change and then UK- HKG twice a week via the gulf with a possible tech stop in far east (BKK?), if this is all true then things look fairly promising however the A/C was still at LHR on Thursday (I think) this week.

Still there Sunday 6th.

stanley 8th October 2002 21:15

the AFX 747 was at LHR today in its usual place (8th oct)

Heard MK want to buy an AFX 747....wouldn't be the Boeing one they leased? G-GAFX?
Apparently MK want 7 x 747Fs by the middle of next year.

G.GAFX
 
This was last heard of at Manston - a nose loading B747 freighter, which Airfreight Express operated from 1999 to early this year. I heard Boeing had taken it back, but has it left Manston yet?
I also heard there was a CAA inspection prior to their AOC being reinstated and there seems to be a lot of activity at their base opposite Hatton Cross - anyone know what's going on, if they are recruiting and what are the routes?
Cheers, Y

Hobo 24th October 2002 19:57

The buzz here at EGHH is that AFX will be operating from AMS to KL via the Gulf very soon now. The white one needs a new set of wheels but that might be put off for a bit. Some recruiting is going on apparently - Classic current only. Good luck to them if it finally gets off the ground!

stormin norman 27th October 2002 06:32

Heard from MAN based dragonair F/e that there to operate Ad hoc for them out of Man to Hkg, crews have been trained at
Burgess hill an are ready to go.

CR2 27th October 2002 11:01

Hobo, Air Atlanta have signed a contract with MASKargo for a 747SF on that route.

707 27th October 2002 16:41

:) The AFX b747-200 at manston (G-GAFX) had the door open the other day, i just wonderded if anyone knew what was going on with it, is it just being mantained to keep air worthy or is it ready to fly with AFX again.

Does anyone know if AFX are setting on Loadies?
Also, does anyone know the contact details/address for AFX's HR dept?:confused:

The a/c is well and truly at LHR and there are parking fees running into six figures, which may well put a damper on plans.

In addition to my last the a/c at LHR alongside the BMI hangar has been worked on during the last few days with flaps fully extended on one day.
