Astar 2.0?
 
FAA registry and planespotters shows 4 757-200 operated by Astar Air Cargo. Any one know who is staffing them? Previous registration of aircraft was VQ-Bxx.

TIA.

I'm guessing the planes are staffed by EAT as well?

Strange, on planespotter they show delivery dates of April/May/June 2015. Either way I'm not going back.

757 Registrations

Who has Astar's certificate? Curious if these might go to Florida West/Southern or maybe someone is going to start an Astar V2.0 with the old certificate. I'm 99% sure it wasn't forfeit back to the FAA. ATI has been told to expect one more 757F but that aircraft should be one from Shanghai and AAWW Leasing (just like 588GT).

Usually the FAA will revoke an air carrier operating certificate after one year with no operations. Nothing is listed under Astar on the FAA list of current certificates.
