Hi All,

I know Channel Express utilise JET2 aircraft to operate Royal Mail freight services at night, but does anyone know anything about these services? What routes do they operate on and at what times? Do they use specific aircraft? I guess it is dependant on which aircraft are flying where the next day.

Anyone have any info? I'm really curious to know about the nightlife of these planes!

Here's the Channex mail/cargo flights as they stand, times are roughly correct

HTH,
Scott

The 1A/1B/1C/1D is usually one of G-CELY/Z
The 4E/4F is usually one of G-CELR/Y/Z or TF-ELM
The 9G/9H is usually one of G-CELR/Y/Z or TF-ELM
The 12A/12B is usually one of G-CELR/Y/Z or TF-ELM

The others marked are definite (for the moment)

All the above are Mail except the 730/731P which are newspaper flights for Higgs.

I think Channex only have 6 of their own QC aircraft plus TF-ELM which is the leased Iclandic unit.

None of the LBA or MAN units operate mail flights, and are now I believe purely Pax examples (eg LA Operated for quite sometime on purely LBA runs - usualy the shorter LBA-BFS-LBA-CDG-LBA-BFS-LBA routings due to it's heavier APS weight with the QC Door).
