US cargo carrier ABX Air has started flying its Boeing 767-200 freighters into Europe in conjunction with TNT.

Currently a 5x weekly service is operating from New York JFK (sometimes via Halifax) to Liege in Belgium. This operates Tuesday-Saturday mornings.

Rumours are that more links with TNT will be flown by ABX Air in the near future. This is a great chance to see some rarer aircraft to our skies and airports.

Today I’m pleased to announce that my new book is available for purchase!

Airport Spotting Guides Europe is published by Destinworld Publishing Ltd and available from Amazon, Borders etc. as well as many specialist aviation shops.

ISBN 978-0-9559281-0-9

Here’s a link

The book covers Europe’s best airports for spotting.
It has a map for each, and lists the best official and unofficial spotting locations, and how to get to them.
It also has lists of airlines, stored/wrecked/preserved aircraft, frequencies, runway information, plus recommended hotels with views over the airport.

For the spotter and photographer who likes to travel to view aircraft, this book is indispensable.
