DHL has taken care of that by ordering 6 new 767-300ER's from Boeing. Rumor from a Boeing employee is there are 13 more orders on the books that have yet to be "assigned".
ABX has already tested the waters with DHL with regard to re-fleeting... ABX has stated they will "not offer anymore 767's at current ACMI rates", it makes no sense for Astar to seek a new airplane type until DHL actually asks for it, now that DHL has a seat on the board it will be very clear when the question is asked.
