Apr 22, 2010 (newstodate): Airlines fighting to cope with the huge backlogs of passengers and cargo due to the flight ban over Europe are heating up business among companies in the charter and ACMI segment.
-In short: all aircraft in our fleet are fully engaged and operated with record-high rates of utilization, says Ole Christiansen, DAT VP Sales.
-Our MD-80 aircraft has been in the air on various assignments to Algiers, the UK, China and Kazakhstan for corporate customers, carriers and individual customers, and all of our ATR passenger aircraft have been fully occupied with charter operations for corporate and private customers and e.g. dislocated sport teams.
-We are currently fully booked and we were happy enough that several of our aircraft were located at airports that were not immediately affected by the clouds of volcano ash, enabling us to throw the full capacity into the market, says Mr Christiansen.
DAT, based at Vamdrup, in southern Denmark, also operates one MD-83 aircraft on a long-term military contract.
