JetOneX's new livery

 
JetOneX took delivery of its newest aircraft that looks quite familiar! The B747-400M VQ-BWM (28460) was positioned from Sharjah to Dubai-World Central after receiving this adapted livery and removing all remaining passenger-seats. It was, clearly, previously in use with KLM as PH-BFV.

The Jumbo is operated for JetOneX by Longtail Aviation from Bermuda, which now manages a fleet of five B747-400s in cargo or phreighter-configuration.

JetOneX on its turn now has three B747-400s, all operated by Longtail. It also owns four former China Airlines passenger B747-400s, which are stored at Victorville (CA) and Taipei.

Air Atlanta Icelandic adds B747-400(M)

Air Atlanta Icelandic (CC, Reykjavik Keflavik) has added its first B747-400(M) combi freighter on dry-lease from JetOneX, the Icelandic register has shown.

At 24.3 years of age, TF-AMH (msn 28551) was formerly operated as a government transport by the Dubai Air Wing (DUB, Dubai Int'l) as A6-HMM, the ch-aviation fleets history module shows. JetOneX is also planning to acquire sistership A6-COM (msn 25074). It is not clear if the second aircraft will also be placed with Air Atlanta Icelandic. The carrier did not respond to ch-aviation's request for comment.

The two B747-400(M)s constitute half of the type's global fleet. The remaining two are also owned by JetOneX and placed with Bermuda's Longtail Aviation (LGT, Bermuda), although they have remained inactive since their acquisition by the American ACMI/charter carrier.

Air Atlanta Iceland's fleet is built around the B747 Family with three B747-400s, one B747-400(BCF), five B747-400(BDSF), three B747-400(FSCD)s, and now the B747-400(M). It also operates one A340-300 and two A340-600s in a makeshift freighter configuration. The carrier's Maltese sister, Air Atlanta Europe (AAE, Malta Int'l), operates one more B747-400.
