However, it now appears that N999YV was just sold to Cargojet by its owner, who leases it to 21Air. Could it soldier on with 21Air for a little while before going to Cargojet, and thus the sale doesn't refute the rumour? Sure. And Cargojet only confirmed the acquisition of the one aircraft, so maybe 21Air could try to serve Aeromex with a single aircraft.
But the fact that Stambaugh used to work on Cargojet's 727s and 757s makes me wonder whether both 21Air 767-200s will end up in Canada in the not-too-distant future. 21Air could do the contract with an aircraft leased from someone else, I guess, but perhaps the contract was lost to a different bottom-feeder, or the plan fell through?
Hete will lease them aircraft to do the ex ABX flying...that's been the pattern.
