Ethiopian Cargo change of a/c?

Hi,

Rumour goes that Ethiopian Airlines may be leasing a DC8 or DC10 soon for its operations to BRU in stead of flying their regular B75F, ETAJS if I am not mistaken. Anyone heard something similar?

Hasta,

Jade

Nope, I haven't heard anything about it ...
But it woud be nice to see something else like ET-AJS correct me if i'm wrong with this reg.
But they did it in the past with silverback cargo aswel so it might be true ...

Nothing heard about it, but it could be. The cargo served by ET is going very well. ET add more destinations ex-BRU in their timetable. They are flying even more then mentioned on the timetable of BIAC.

So, when Ethiopian will decide to use a bigger airplane for their services to BRU, let them come.

Indeed, ET-AJS

I have noticed that DAS Air Cargo operates some flights ex-BRU. Today there was again a DC10 of DAS Air cargo on the parking spot of Ethiopian Cargo.

Could it be that Ethiopian is using DAS Air for their cargo now? In that case we could see that nice bird in daytime at the airport.

Somebody more info about this?

I 've noticed that Das Air is no longer a frequent visitor of Ostend Airport. They're used to come on mondays, but it has been a long time since I've seen them there. Don't know why? If anybody knows more...?

Ethiopian has indeed changed equipment to DC10 8)

That would be very good news for Brucargo and Ethiopian. This cargo airline is now flying almost a year on BRU and increased their number of destinations and now using bigger metal.

Nice news indeed.

Rutger,

Can you tell us the registration of the DC10 ? Is it a wet lease from another company or a simple lease or something else ?

I don't have any information yet on the DC10. But I think the only possibilities are DAS Air and World (who used to fly DC10 to BRU quite often).

I'll keep you up to date, I'll do my best to gather some information.

The first time when they came with the DC-10 it was 5X-JCR (DSR).

EDIT: Today it will be 5X-BON

Yesterday (noon) I saw even 2 DAS AIR in Brussels, one at Brucargo, the other one was parked where normaly World is parked

The DAS Air cargo of today departed at 14.55H

How about today's DAS. I saw a DAS DC-10 today at 12.00lt overhead Overijse inbound?

Any ideas

Is it in ET colours?

Glider · Post by **Glider** » 04 Jan 2006, 13:27

Today's DAS Air Cargo was also 5X-BON. Saw it flying over, and a couple of minutes later, land on 02. Have some pics; will post the links when uploaded (flat battery for the moment...)

Thanks, Glider.

Unlike El Nombre I lost my cherry(ies) on 2 jan as I went to AMS. Made more than I'll admit to in a public forum but can say I no longer need any KLM, at least until the next 330 and F100's are delivered. It was a good day for 330's as I made 2 NW as well.

I have a question about those flights of Ethiopian Cargo.

The scheduled cargo flights of Ethiopian Cargo are mostly early in the morning with their own B757-200. But they had always, almost from the beginning, additional cargo flights in the afternoon. Most of them were operated by a third party or even by Ethiopian itselfs. Why are those flights not mentioned on the cargo timetable of BIAC? Has somebody an answer for that?

Thanks in advance.
