I see that this VAC has 3404 hrs with DHL. Was I too late to fly the yellow and red? Why not bring it back?

Hi michael,

i see a charter for DHL on the atlas page GTI8694 in a 742 EDDP/OBBI

We did have a DHL division but that was replaced by Titan allowing different kinds of aircraft. DHL flights are showing back up because that's what is happening in the real world as DHL is shifting more flying on their behalf to Atlas. DHL in the real world either 49 or 51% of Polar, we have some here who can explain the relationship better and I bet they will chime in.

We don't have any flights operated in true DHL colors. N451PA was painted in a hybrid DHL color which matches, except for small logo's and operated by notes, that of other airlines not related to Atlas who are also flying on behalf of DHL. I have seen a Kalitta 747 painted just like our N451PA for the same purpose and I believe there is another company or two also doing the same. The former DHL 767's as far as I understand are just by coincidence former DHL planes because they were put into storage and already had a freighter conversion. These 767's are being painted in Atlas colors before being put into service.

There are no plans to revive the DHL division. As I mentioned above, DHL was replaced by Titan. Titan fullfills any reason for having DHL plus more.

Okay. Thanks for the official response.

I have a correction to my earlier post. Some of the 767's will be painted in the full fledge DHL colors. There will be some coordination to take place before they come online here.

Then in that case, will Bodo be doing some work soon? I can't find a DHL 767 for the LDS.

Heres one but think its only for fs9 http://www.avsimrus.com/f/fs2004-aircra ... 15818.html

We have some already that Bodo painted for both FS9 and FSX but tail numbers need to be changed. They will be added back to the repaints pages when they are ready.

FS9 or FSX??? - if FSX look at http://www.mcphatstudios.net/store/leve ... irliners-2 - it is the price worth!

DHL owns 49% of Polar, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings owns 51%.

The Polar aircraft sporting the hybrid DHL livery will slowly become the standard as aircraft go thru heavy maintenance checks. N451PA has been flying with it for some time, also 452 has recently recieved the same paint. You will also notice other carriers, as Justin said which have similar hybrid/DHL schemes carriers sporting this livery on some planes are:

The DHL 767's operated by Atlas retain the full DHL livery, here is a picture of N708AX on it's way to be converted to full freighter, which will become N652GT
