Sep 06, 2011 (newstodate): The Danish charter carrier and ACMI provider, Jet Time is mulling plans for adding another Boeing 737-300QC aircraft to its fleet.
Jet Time took delivery of its first Boeing 737-300QC in March 2010 as its sixth Boeing aircraft, and now operates a fleet comprising seven Boeing 737-300 and two Boeing 737-700 aircraft.
-We have had quite positive experience with the Boeing 737-300QC aircraft that opened an entirely new market for us. It has not exactly been down-hill all along, but results have actually been so good as to convince us that adding a second QC aircraft would make sense, says Klaus Ren, Jet Time CEO.
-In addition to a range of ad-hoc cargo operations we have also served TNT on a longer contract with flights between Liege and Rome five times weekly, and the aircraft has performed perfectly.
-The Boeing 737-300QC has a relatively high fuel consumption, but on the other hand capital costs are significantly lower than NG aircraft. So in a macro-economic perspective, units costs are favorable and that is basically what counts.
-We are now already looking around for adding another Boeing 737-300QC that might join the fleet by mid-winter. As for passenger aircraft we will build up the fleet with NG aircraft as the existing leasing contracts for Classicals expire. One more Boeing 737-700NG aircraft may thus also be forthcoming, says Mr Ren.
