DHL Worldwide Express has purchased two B757 freighters from Ansett
Worldwide Aviation Services for delivery in January and March.
DHL said it will add the new freighters to its Europe/Africa network. The two
new planes are part of a fleet expansion program announced by DHL that includes the
addition of forty-four B757s from Boeing Co’s Aviation Services conversion unit.
Ansett has been flying a B757 daily between the Mideast and Belgium under a
wet-lease contract for DHL since 1996. DHL is buying that plane and moving it into its
European network. The carrier has signed a wet-lease agreement with Ansett to replace that
plane with another B757 flying the same route.
