Re: Whats this?
Posted: Thu Apr 17, 2008 5:31 pmBased on the route, and the ICAO code in the flight number, I'd say that it has to be these guys: http://www.answers.com/topic/cargoitalia?cat=biz-fin
The route and flight number work out ok, but the plane and name of the line do not make sense based on the info on the company. It looks like they do lease some Gemini DC-10s sometimes, and those are blue and white, but no 747s at all. (notice the tiny red sticker to the left of the "passenger" door, it says Cargoitalia.)

I think it may be a case of a somewhat mistaken flight tracking website. They do make mistakes sometimes. (Also went to my "if all else fails" airline website, and they think that City-Link Nigeria actually ceased operations in 2002, but they are not sure.
