Just thought I’d throw up some visualisations, it’s unbelievably cool that this was done to keep these lanky beasts flying and even more fantastic is that they’ve taken on even more 346’s.

Taken directly from the European Cargo site above,

Loading the aircraft,

The interior setup (3 have now been converted to this standard rather than pallets on the floor, much more profitable and up to European standards - Many more to come ),

At their home base of Bournemouth,

Leaving LHR,

Loading belly cargo,

And a video,

They have a second base too at Cardiff.

Infinite Flight got a tour of the airline,

Airliner world had a fantastic article on their A340s during Covid, as part of the whole pax deck cargo conversion thing in that era. Well worth the read if you can find it
