Australia - Freighter routes

Bruce Bramwell · #1 4th August 2008, 10:33 AM

Hi Guys,

Bit of an 'odd' question but I am chasing down a couple of things and was wondering If I could tap into the vast resources here.

AAE 727-200F Flights? [I know they did 5 x weekly PER - MEL]
AAE 727-100F Flights?

AAE 737-300F

Though isnt their an operation between the east coast of Australia to Auckland>?

AaE 722F flight is PER-MEL-PER and on occasion PER-MEL-LST-MEL-PER
737 CNS-BNE-TSV-SYD-MEL-HBA-LST
146 ADL-MEL-SYD-BNE-TSV

I think you are thinking are thinking of Asian Air Express for that. 727-200 VH-DHE operating on behalf of DHL

Sounds very much that way, uses the callsign Express 1/2. Does its still overnight in SYD on Fridays and then leave around 2pm on Saturdays ? About the only time its spotted in daylight hours, and not living where I used to never get to see it anymore.

While we are discussing freighter aircraft, I have a question about the Cessna Caravan painted in the Toll Livery that seems to be based at Bankstown, although im not sure if its currently operational. When it does fly where does it generally go to, and does it use a callsign or the rego.

Thanks
Mark

I vaguely recall Toll aquiring a small aircraft for MEL-LST...but im not sure if its this one.

Mark,

As far as I'm aware the Toll Caravans are not in use anymore...however the metros are still in operation and operate under the 'Jetcraft' callsign...so for example Jetcraft 123. They fly into all sorts of regional places up and down the eastern seaboard.
