Kalitta Air has purchased two Boeing 747-200 Special Freighters which were formerly owned by China Airlines in a deal arranged by Focus Aviation. UK operator Highland Airways has acquired an ex-American Eagle ATR 42-300 in a deal arranged by Magellan Air. The aircraft will be operated as a freighter.
