Oct 10, 2014 (newstodate): The UK/British carrier West Atlantic keeps an iron curtain around its plans for introducing the Boeing 767 freighter in the fleet.
So far, the most visible sign of intentions is a computerized illustration of the Boeing 767 freighter in West Atlantic livery on the carrier's website.
In West Atlantic's Interim report JanuaryJune, 2014, the company remained rather cautious in its comment on the issue.
-The Boeing 767 project is still ongoing and currently West Atlantic plans to deploy its first aircraft in Q4, 2014.
-If the first aircraft is placed according to timetable it should allow the Group to deploy an additional aircraft before the end of the year, the reports says.
Repeated efforts by newstodate to obtain further info on this issue have proved futile.
In December 2013, the Atlantic Group formed a strategic partnership with the Ohio-based Air Transport Services Group, ATSG, that took a 25 percent stake in the Gothenburg-based West Atlantic Group.
ATSG is operating close to 50 Boeing 767 freighters in addition to Boeing 757 and DC-8 freighter aircraft.
With the partnership, West Atlantic would add the mid-size Boeing 767 freighter to its capabilities comprising a fleet of 40 freighter aircraft including ATP,CRJ-200PF and Boeing 737-300/-400.
