Read a post on the a.net forums claiming that Air Atlanta are to rebrand their 742’s operating from the UK to the Excel Airways brand.
Can anyone else elaborate on this from a different source?
Can’t imagine this would change the routes they’d operate, most likely they’d remain mostly serving TravelCityDirect from LGW and MAN to MCO.
If true I’d imagine they’d eventually go for a repaint soon, that’d be something to see for sure.

travel city direct fly to sanford not mco and surely travel city need the 742’s aswell as the 1 or 2 743’s coming in from corsair? especially in the summer when cardiff glasgow – sanford etc all start coming into force

Yes but the deal is done. 5 classic airframes, I believe.

All the Virgin classics have been sold to Transaero.
G-VSSS was still operating out of MAN over the weekend.

We used to see the Air Atlanta 74’s in Turkey most nights (Dalaman, Antalya, Izmir, etc) when I was in the charters. There could be quite a large market for large scale people moving to that area during the season.

Yep your right Topjet, just the one VS 742 left now, think its VSSS ?
Seems pretty certain that TF-ARS/ABA and ABP will be in XLA c/s.

I think you’re all forgetting that Air Atlanta’s traditional favoured scheme for B747s is “Siberian Winter Camouflage”. 😉

Which 742s are currently in VA colours?
I’d bet my last £1 (and it literally is!) that if they’re coming out of their lease with VS they are the ones getting the XLA scheme

It is going to happen, remember Excel and Air Atlanta are merging.
I think TF-ARS and TF-ABA are two of the ones gone end up in XLA c/s.

hmmm, wouldn’t surprise me if this was indeed the supposed source for the thread on a.net. would be a fab sight though … even if the interiors look a little on the ‘well used’ side 😉
