ATLANTIC AIRLINES is probably the first British airline to take advantage of the 10 nation enlargement of the EU. The Coventry Airport based cargo carrier is leasing an Antonov 72 cargo aircraft from Estonian carrier Enimex and will be putting it quickly into service for ad hoc charter. With its rear ramp loading facility and high wing mounted engines the aircraft is particularly ideal for carrying horses. The airline says that the introduction of the An 72 is the culmination of 12 months” quiet work and negotiation with both the CAA and the Tallinn-based authorities.
