Die Lockheed Electra (L-188) in Köln/BonnEnglisch

Seit Mitte der 80er Jahre war die Lockheed L-188 Electra fast zwei Jahrzehnte ein täglicher Gast auf dem Flughafen Köln/Bonn. Sie flog nachts im Auftrag der großen Paketdienste UPS, DHL und TNT. Regelmäßig eingesetzt wurde sie in Köln/Bonn im Laufe der Jahre von den Fluggesellschaften Fred Olsen, Air Bridge / Hunting Cargo, Channel Express, Amerer Air und Atlantic Airlines.

Inzwischen sind in Köln/Bonn die Electras hauptsächlich durch modernere Jets der Typen Boeing 737-300 und Boeing 757 ersetzt worden. Im November 2003 wurde auf der DHL Route Köln – Nürnberg als letzte regelmäßige Verbindung die Lockheed Electra der Atlantic Airlines durch eine Boeing 757 der DHL ersetzt.

Heutzutage ist die Lockheed L-188 Electra in Köln/Bonn nur noch von ab und zu auf Frachtchartern zu Gast
