I was wondering which A300Fs does Air France Cargo use (either which specific registrations or airlines).

I was searching their online timetable and starting November 1, they are launching a flight between BEY and CDG and it is on an A3F. The flight number is AF6591.

To see it yourself, go to the timetable search, select November or December, search BEY-CDG and you'll see it appear on Mondays.

Does anyone know the routing for this flight?

What other routes do they fly wet-leased A300Fs and other aircraft?

Regards

Wild guess of mine: It's MNG. They already fly CDG-IST for AF.

Air France is regularly leasing some A300F to adjust its freight capacities.
The a/c operate mostly on the West-African network : from CDG to CMN and then to DKR, BKO, OUA etc...

The a/c and crews are leased from Cargo MNG or /and Islandflug Cargo

No idea of the routing. i didn't even know they were going to operate a full cargo flight to BEY...
It sounds strange as the daily B777 offers quite a big cargo capacity... That's one of the reason the B777 is used all the year round on the route...
