So Atlas guys are you about to start flying pax?
The UA registered tails (2) are on lease and flying AMC (troops) until the 767's go online later this year. The possibility exists that the leases will be extended or converted. The 5 others, as noted are configured for a very nice service between Lagos and Houston on a long term contract.
What's gonna happen next? Who knows. When you have a management team that came from outside the industry, that understands how to market and properly price a product, not put all their eggs in one basket and make a lot of money at the same time they are buying more planes???
Stay tuned.
