There is a 19 acre expansion going on right now for additional ramp space for 9 wide bodies.

The rumor on our side, is where you're getting your 767's. DHL owns the leases on about a dozen (just a guess, I'm not at work) CAM 767's that ABX is flying now. The ABX agreement is not an ACMI cost plus any longer. DHL has a separate lease on the equipment and a separate agreement for the crew services.

Yours is the umpteenth time I have personally heard the rumor. But rumors just don't start out of thin air. There had to be something to spawn it. Something in writing somewhere. I am trying to track that down.

DHL also owns 49% of Atlas's sister company Polar

And DHL cares about that how? :laugh:

You can pat Hete on the back. He took my job also, but they have been recalling a few at both ATI and ABX. ABX grew their charter business and Dasberg just gave up on any outside non-DHL business. Is Astar still in business? Last I heard only a few DC-8s flying.

Astar has 8 DC-8's and about 100 pilots operating now. It's anybody's guess as to their plans for the future. Right now it looks like 747 cargo is where the growth is.
