Nov 23, 2015 (newstodate): West Atlantic has now published its Jan-Sept 2015 Interim Report showing changes and developments in the various freighter segments.
-In the Boeing 737 freighter market, the West Atlantic Group has focused its efforts to phasing in new capacity to cover the awarded contracts. At the end of the third quarter the Group had nine Boeing 737 aircraft in operation, with two additional aircraft scheduled to enter service early in 2016, the report states.
-In the less-than-eight-tonnes payload market, serviced by the Groups BAE ATP and CRJ200PF fleets, the Group has encountered a decreased demand for its services throughout the year.
-This is primarily due to an ongoing consolidation of the volumes leading to increased demand for larger aircraft. Following this market trend, combined with the ongoing process of closing operations on behalf of the Swedish PostNord, the Group is exploring new commercial opportunities whilst strategically evaluating future possibilities for the under-eight-tonnes spare capacity available in 2016.
-The second Boeing 767 aircraft has arrived and is expected to enter scheduled service in late October for a Global Integrator. The Group has also secured commercial terms for a third aircraft, which is scheduled to be deployed in the first quarter 2016.
-The continued growth in the Boeing 767 freighter market allows the Group to capitalize on its already established position in Europe while introducing new capacity to the market, the report says.
So for West Atlantic, the Boeing 737 freighter market is thriving, the Boeing 767 freighter market likewise - but changes are seen in the market for smaller freighters where West Atlantic is the world's largest operator of the ATP freighter of which 39 aircraft are currently in the fleet as well as three Bombardier CRJ200LR in freighter version.
