AeroLogic gearing up to launch freighter in 2009
AeroLogic, the airfreight subsidiary of DHL Express and Lufthansa Cargo,
has taken another important step in preparing itself for the start of
flight operations in the spring of 2009. AeroLogic is now cooperating with
the Austrian Airlines Group on the type ratings required for the new
Boeing 777F. The agreement enables AeroLogic to use the licensed training
organisation of the Austrian carrier. Type rating involves a basic course
in theory as well as training on flight simulators. An important advantage
for AeroLogic is that Austrian Airlines not only has the flight-simulator
capacities, it also has years of experience in operating this specific
aircraft. The first aircraft in the AeroLogic fleet will be delivered at
the start of 2009.
