Happy new year to all, have been an aviation fan long enough to know that cargo schedules are both hard to find and not many are published, but I was wondering for those in the know how accurate these flight numbers/routes still are, its an ABX Air timetable. Its 3 years old and in that time what flights have they added, am just after scheduled flight numbers/routes not times or the like. Thanks in advance. http://www.abxair.com/shipping-cente...cuments/Flightschedule01-01-10.pdf

ABX's hub in CVG is interesting...most of their flights outbound are in the morning or late evening. If you can't find anything palpable, check flightaware.

ABX has a problem with "name recognition"......Burlington and Airborne, individually, at least stuck in peoples' heads.
.......whereas many say "what's ABX??".....

For one thing, that schedule is incomplete because it lists only flights operated for DHL but ABX does have more scheduled flights. I believe ABX still has a plane based in MIA operating on behalf of a local forwarder, and they have one in LGG flying European legs for TNT.
For another, not only does DHL change their schedule quite a bit but also, when that timetable was published, was using Astar Air Cargo along with ABX. Astar is since gone and ABX has picked up some of its flights, with the remainder going to Capital and Atlas Air.
All in all, I would guess half of that timetable has changed.
Comparing from memory, for example, ABX is now doing BOS and MCO, IAH and DFW are terminators with HRL and ELP serviced non-stop, the later with Capital which also took over SLC-DEN-CVG, MIA is up to twice daily and Atlas does SFO, ORD and YHM. This is but a short list, I am sure there are many more changes.

Quoting FreshSide3 (Reply 4): ABX has a problem with "name recognition"......Burlington and Airborne, individually, at least stuck in peoples' heads.
People, as in the general public? They don't sell to the general public. Unless you need an entire aircraft to move freight from A to B, ABX isn't going to take your call, and the people who have that need, ie freight forwarders, integrators and other airlines, do know who ABX is.
Quoting Skyeurope (Reply 7): One of their 767s was parked at Milan Linate last Thursday, probably operating for DHL/TNT.
It is flying LGG-LIN-LGG for TNT, but TNT frequently puts it on other destinations as well.

As luck would have it,I recived an email from flightaware notifying that a 762 was going to come to ROC. ABX was flying Capital Cargo's usual CVG-ROC-BDL route .

Quoting Allee (Reply 13): ABX20XX flight number range are for adhoc/recovery flights only. CCI122 is your normal flight number.
