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.
