BA to End Atlas 747-8 Freighter Lease

摘要

British Airways has terminated its cargo aircraft lease agreement with Atlas Air after its parent company the International Airlines Group (IAG) signed a long-term capacity purchase agreement with Qatar Airways Cargo. The decision means that the three BA World Cargo-branded Boeing 747-8Fs, currently operated from London Stansted by Atlas Air's Global Supply Systems (GSS) subsidiary, will be returned. They have operated from the Essex airport since 2011 on an ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance) basis. The Atlas Air lease agreement ends on April 30.
