In my registration book “Airline Fleets Quick Reference” it states that Excel has leased a 747 from Air Atlanta “TF-ATD”. Is this true as i am nold not to believe everything i read???

Long haul inclusive tour sales

Excel Aviation commenced Longhaul flights to the United States and Caribbean region in Summer 2003 using a leased B747 aircraft on behalf of a number of tour operators.

The long-haul programme has received a tremendous boost after the announcement that Excel Airways will offer the first three-class Boeing 767 to the UK leisure market. This exciting new product will launch in November 2003 and will feature a First Class cabin, along with Premium Economy and Economy cabins.

I saw something about this before; I think the aircraft is all Air Atlanta operated.. with the 757/767s only Atlanta flight crew are used.

I am assuming that the deal is actually with Excel Aviation (XLA’s parent company), who would be selling the seats for Atlanta. www.excelaviation.co.uk it mentions a 747 deal from last year
