Default MASkargo switch to Southern Air

The 1st of May saw contract held by Air Atlanta to ops MASkargo flights expire. Southern Air took over the contract (reportedly only until the end of the year)

Today's MH6201 is being ops by 743F.

If this is the case of Southern Air doing the contract then the one you may want to keep an eye out for is N704SA as seen below at LAX in November 2009.

The one that arrives this morning was all white - no markings that I could see from a distance. It didn't match Michael's photo.

Thanks for the info Liam.
Wonder how long this contract will last, as MAS will get there own A330F's in a few years, to run along side the 744F.

Good timing! Was out in the garden and heard this a/c - quite noisy and saw the 743 overhead at around 11:40. Quick check of the SBS log confirmed N789SA.
