Dublin, Ireland-based charter carrier Translift is to get new colours and a new name - TransAer. Chairman P J McGoldrick says the change reflects the fact that the airline, which began by operating freight and passenger aircraft, has been a passenger-only carrier since 1993. The changeover is due on 1 May, but the airline holding company and other travel-industry interests will keep the Translift name. The airline has six Airbus A320s and two A300B4-100s, with two A300B4-200s to be delivered in February.
