This from another board and The source is the
Economic Times:



PARIS,: US investment fund MatlinPatterson Global Advisors has placed
a firm order for six Airbus A330-200F long-haul cargo aircraft,
European plane manufacturer Airbus said Monday.

MatlinPatterson, which specialises in buying up companies in
difficulty, said the planes would be used by several firms in its
investment portfolio, such as Varig Logistica of Brazil and Global
Aero Logistics of the United States.

The value of contract was not disclosed but based on catalog prices
the deal should be worth a little more than one billion dollars (675
million euros).

who ever will fly them for peanuts

 

[HalinTexas]

We at ATA have been told it won't be us. Either World or Varig.

 

[Fly Astar Jets]

There is a leasing company with an office in MEM that has ordered 20 of them.

Atlas was talking about getting into the midsize market a few months ago.

My guess is they will go to Varig, and World will get Varig's MD11s and DC10s.

 

[dojetdriver]

Duh....Gemini is getting them. They have been slated to get new aircraft for YEARS.

My guess is they will go to Varig, and World will get Varig's MD11s and DC10s.

I'll bet your right on the money with that guess. Didn't know Varig had any DC-10's ??? Do they???

IS Variglog part of Varig? I see their cargo DC-10's in LAX occasionally.
