Jan 06, 2021 (newstodate): The Swedish cargo charter and ACMI carrier West Atlantic, since April 2019 part of the Spanish holding company LUSAT, is now out of the wide-body freighter market.
The carrier has thus redelivered its last remaining Boeing 767-200F aircraft to the lessor, the Ohio-based Air Transport Services Group, ATSG.
At its peak operating four Boeing 767-200F aircraft, West Atlantic received the first freighter on January 5, 2015, with the second freighter joining in October 2015, a third Boeing 767-200F by Q2, 2016, and the fourth on November 30, 2018.
Two of the Boeing 767-200F aircraft were however redelivered to the lessor already in September 2019 and March 2020, respectively - and the remaining two left the fleet on January 1, 2021, closing a chapter in the carrier's history.
