The aircraft they are using for this freight service the AN 26...I don't know anything about It, how long the type has been around but it must be quite an unusual for use on a UK service.

 

[Silvercity]

The An26 has been operating into and out of Liverpool quite frequently with cargo charters of Wynne Aviation Services. Apparently the aircraft has quite a distictive and loud sound ..Will need to go and see it landing sometime.

Some contingency plans being put together in case of Brexit freight issues..

Liverpool and Leipzig will join air cargo capabilities to maintain automotive supply chains in the case of a no deal Brexit when the UK leaves the European Union at the end of March. Wynne Aviation, based at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, and Germany’s Leipzig Airport, along with Airport Park Leipzig Halle, have announced an “alliance arrangement designed to establish formal contingency planning measures” in case of a no deal Brexit. The partners said in a statement: “The contingency measures involve the establishment of a consortia comprising; air cargo aircraft operators, warehousing operators, air cargo handling, Customs clearance and trucking companies who form the alliance" They have come together to present a seamless air cargo service level offering to support the logistics requirements of the UK’s North West, North Midlands and North Wales automotive cluster and Germany’s eastern automotive cluster.” UK-based Jota Aviation and Russia’s Volga-Dnepr Group will provide freighter support with BAE146-300F, B737-400SF, An24-100 and IL-76 aircraft. Leipzig has 39,000 sq m of warehousing available on an off-airport site adjacent to the hub, while both airports have 24 hour operations Tom Hughes, business development director at Wynne Aviation Services, said: “The announcement today brings together key players in the air cargo logistics business who are partnering to provide the automotive sector with a clear picture of the service level offering available to support their logistics needs should a no deal Brexit happen. “Both Liverpool and Leipzig airports are located at the heart of two major automotive clusters and so the strengthening and marketing of our collective logistics facilities at this crucial time is an entirely sensible measure.” Mario Patyk, head of business development cargo/logistics at Leipzig/Halle Airport said: “The just in time automotive supply chain could face some unforeseen consequences should a no deal Brexit happen and so the establishment of a strong counterparty relationship on air cargo logistics with the UK and in particular the automotive cluster within the Liverpool catchment area, where Liverpool Airport is a key air cargo gateway is a prudent measure to take both today but also beyond Brexit.” Andre Morrall, business development director at Airport Park Leipzig Halle, said: “As strong partners of Leipzig Airport, where we have significant ready to rent large scale warehousing, today’s announcement helps to place in the minds of shippers and freight forwarders the existence of this new alliance and the collective and substantial service level offerings we can provide.”

[Aviador]

Had one of those fly over us a few weeks ago and the engine hum went on for ages afterwards.

 

[Scottie Dog]

I'm pretty certain one skirted around Penketh at about 2.15 this afternoon inbound to Liverpool.

 

[Silvercity]

I think i really.need to get down there.and experience the sound in particular.

 

[Silvercity]

More AN12 movements today on arrived from Tangiers 3 hours ago , the Carrier is Cavok.

 

[Silvercity]

Just seen my first AN12, was on approach over my back garden, we certainly all looked up !

 

[Scottie Dog]

Looked, and sounded, like another AN-12 skirting around Penketh at 0925 as if routed inbound to Speke - I much prefer the old name to LJLA.

 

[Silvercity]

They seem to be routing in from Tangier, then goes off to somewhere off. They're coming in nearly daily at the moment, 3 arrivals on Sunday gone.

To be honest Scottie Dog I prefer all the old airport names Elmdon, (naturally ) Ringway, Yeadon, Lulsgate and Tern etc etc.and by the way the AN12 is noisy old thing but certainly brings variety.

I suppose the only thing from a marketing point of view Speke , Rhoose , Staverton etc, they wouldn't cut it today and certainly for overseas visitors not too helpful as too localised.

Liverpool handled 47 cargo charters in July, 13 inbounds from TNG.
24 were operated on charters operating on AN12s.
