Air Cargo Germany set to aquire 2 747400ERF's

Frankfurt-based Air Cargo Germany (ACG) will add two Boeing 747-400ERF aircraft to its fleet of four 747-400SFs next month.

The two aircraft will be transferred from AirBridgeCargo, the scheduled operating unit of Volga-Dnepr Group, which holds 49% in ACG.

CEO Michael Bock said the company will use the new aircraft to develop additional markets, which could include nonstop routes to Mexico and the Far East.

Next year, ACG will return the four 747-400SFs to lessor Martinair and will consider replacing them with either four newer 747-400Fs or 747-400ERFs.

The carrier also announced it will add three weekly Hahn-Beijing flights by the upcoming winter schedule.
