It's not a QC. World has been running a flight IAH-LAD for an Angolian oil company. They wanted a bigger plane so they would not have to stop and bought 2 400s. Then they found someone to fly the planes for them. It's a mainly business class layout. It's not a real airline flight that anyone can buy a ticket on. Think of it more like a corporate shuttle 747.

Its for SonAir

This is the contract that Atlas have taken over from World, who have been doing IAH-LAD for many years with MD-11ER's. Nice looking machine. I presume the SG suffix instead of the usual MC stands for "Sonair Group"?

One of the UPS guys will have to chime in with more info, but they did run 727's down to the Caribbean from 1997-2001.
Here is an article, the pax stuff is about a quarter of the way down: The UPS Way | Airliners.net |
Saw that jet at JFK the other day. It's sharp-looking in person.

What happened to the UPS flight attendants? Did they just terminate them, like FDX did to theirs?
