AUG 15, 2005 (newstodate): While QC aircraft versions may be useful to small-scale ad-hoc cargo operators, full-freighters are the ultimate solution to the needs of airlines where cargo is a major business.
-The QC aircraft allows an operator to undertake an air cargo assignment when business is there. But for a carrier dedicated to air cargo operations a converted aircraft will make much better sense, says Josef Hornak, Job Air CEO.
-The converted freighter like the SAAB 340F will allow about one half ton of additional capacity compared to a QC version of the same aircraft, and with daily operations the converted aircraft reigns supreme, he says.
Job Air has just completed the conversion of its first SAAB 340 and will now start on the second aircraft, both of which will be operated by Job Air itself for customers among integrators.
