Kalitta Air to begin Sydney Flights

[Brad Varney]

Connie only have 7 747-4F's?
With the large arrival time span (8am-10am) that could mean a stop in WSSS before continuing to SYD for a sub 747-2.

Yes Brad, they have 6 747-400BCF's and 1 747-400ERF. I believe they also have a 'new' B742 (N795CK) about to enter service for them replacing a machine or two that have maxed out.

The time differences could mean the possibility of a classic operating a flight. It may also indicate they might arrive from different locations (First one is from Sharjah) as the flight number is an indication the inbound flights are probably re-location flights.

K49577 from Sharjah showing due at 9am tomorrow(Saturday) for the first Kalitta flight...

Perhaps the ADF are gearing up to remove a lot of their equipment out of Kabul.

N793CK (Boeing 747-200) due into SYD tomorrow at 0701 as "CKS578".

Hi all,

I'm assuming the first Kalitta flight has already arrived earlier this morning.
Can anyone confirm the departure time and destination are still the same?

Also any word yet on the next flight?

Cheers
Jim

N792CK, a B742 will operate the next flight apparently.

[Kieran Wells]

Jim, Believe it leaves in the region of 1930 tonight..

Just a word of warning for anyone wanting to catch it, it was over 30mins early this morning, so make sure you check timings/FR24 before you go to grab it..

Thanks for the info guys,and Kieran,I take your point.

Shayne,hopefully we get to see that ERF at some stage,but looks like 742s at the moment.
