What about the 3rd one then ?

I read that it will follow the same fate within two weeks. Sad news.

[Acid-drop]

I read april.
Also read we might see them again sometimes in LGG
Fingers crossed

Boeing 777 OO-TSC departed to Singapore on 3 January. It is now registered N844FD since 12 January.

[crew1990]

It means no more 777 in Belgium anymore?

[KriVa]

Apparently both OO-TSC and OO-TSB have already been ferried to Singapore, to be transferred to FedEx. No clue on when OO-TSA will leave, but I'll try to get her on photo next week.
I think, sadly, this is the end for the large cargo aircraft at "TNT".

Fedex mentioned they'll start a link memphis-liege from april

TSB still flying LGG-HKG today

The end of the 777s, but what about the 747s?

The end of the 777s, but what about the 747s?

According to a few rather trustworthy rumours, they're bound to meet the same fate as the 777s...

Any chance these will just change colours, stay based in LGG, using local pilots ?
I guess the pilots should know already

No way. They will be on the AOC of Fedex.
So very unfortunately flown by Fedex pilots.

Just like in CDG, and UPS in CGN...

Something that would never happen in the US, of course...

Emirates SkyCargo (UAE) will return two B747-400ERFs leased from ASL Airlines Belgium in June 2017, ending the use of said aircraft in its fleet. The carrier is to operate only B777Fs going forward.

Does anyone know how ASL Airlines Belgium will use those two big aircraft?

[Acid-drop]

Right now they use a cargolux and a CAL 747, so maybe they keep them...

ASL Airlines Belgium leased two used ex-Korean Air B747-400ERFs.

ASL Airlines Belgium leased two used ex-Korean Air B747-400ERFs.

In addition to the 4 they already have in their fleet? Can't check with the Belgian aircraft register since the site seems to be offline.

[Bralo20]

Just checked the Austrian register, they are registered by ASL Airlines Belgium NV. Wonder why they didn't put them on the Belgian register?
