July saw 47 freight charters. This included 24 AN12 rotations (surely a record !) with inbound freight from Tangier(x13) and Malaga(x3)? and positioning flights from Leipzig, Vigo, Pamplona, Gothenburg(x3), Slockholm and Bradley USA. There were 17 with outbound freight all to Gothenburg and positioning flights to Leige, Stavanger, Tangier(x2), Luxembourg(x2) and Prestwick.

The Tangier flights were for jaguar as thats were the company who supply the wiring harnesses are based. Dont forget there is firms based all round the Jaguar Factory and surrounding areas which make parts for other manufacturers so will have to ship parts out to them

It's stated elsewhere that Ukraine Air Alliance has lost its EU license to operate following the crash of UR- CAH. That may change the mix of freight flights in the future.

After the fatal crash of the Ukrainian An12 and the airlines grounding got me thinking about who might take over the flights. I am pretty sure that one of the criteria used by the charterer was cost. Old aircraft, East European airline, a good receipe for a good deal. So who now will take over the Lpl flights? Some might go to the remaining existing operators. But who can take over.? Looking at cargo airlines within Europe there are not that many other than the main international scheduled & parcel shifters. Not really suitable for the ad-hoc services required. There are still some East European ones but not as many as you would think, and remember they need to be registered in EU countries. So no doubt the price will increase.

CAVOK is still operational. I note Ukraine Air Alliance had 7 AN12s, some may be attractive to CAVOK if there is work for them. As you note, Kuga, the price is likely to increase with less competition which may be a positive for CAVOK.

Yes this could be a solution for both airlines, provided that the actual aircraft are considered airworthy after the crash enquiry, which will look at all aspects of the reasons of the crash, not just the fact that it ran out of fuel. AN 12’s are banned from operating in the UAE since 2010 after several incidents. (Wikipeadia)

It's suggested elsewhere that Ukraine Air Alliance has suffered 3 hull losses in 6 years, which is a poor record. I suspect that AN12s are fine as long as they are maintained well.

Just looked up the max load capability of the AN12. It is 20 tonnes. From the statistics above,that must mean each flight is operating way below max capability. Some loads are bulky but light. Car parts don't normally come into that category.

The jets and helicopters don’t carry much. Just hand carry and only so much they can take with the seats still being there

They certainly do come in t that category. Bumpers, wiring looms, panels. All take up volume without necessarily involving much weight. It’s one of the key changes in the industry over recent years - lightweighting. And that will only increase with the switch to electric vehicles.
