Many of the TNT freighters are flown by subcontracted airlines. Even SouthernAir operated a 777F for them a few years ago. Titan Leasing (Atlas Worldwide) now owns the 3 TNT B777F's. I'll be curious to see what happens to those aircraft.

 

Exactly . Makes some 757 domestic trips look quite tame.


I'm curious about that as well since we saw freight going from CGN to MUC. Not sure if it then went on the 777 or the MD11 to go on to FRA and then to the U.S. I would imagine it's tracked pretty closely by German/EU authorities.

 

Are you sure about the owerniship? Rumor around the schoolhouse says that is not the owner and the 3 planes are coming to us.

I have no facts or proof, just a schoolhouse rumor, and you know how good that is.

 

They way I understand it freight can go from CGN-FRA-EWR. I am no expert but, at least in the old days, you just couldn't unload CGN freight in FRA. Much like it used to be legal to fly British Airways from LA to London via JFK, you just couldn't fly LA to JFK on a foreign flagged carrier.

 

Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings

I'm 98% sure these are the 3 TNT B777F's. Titan also owns and leases back 2 of the AeroLogic 777F's and 1 Emirates B777F.

 

How about the 74's? Any idea if TNT owns them or if they are leased?
