Auckland based Tasman Cargo Airlines have leased in Boeing 757-200 freighter G-BMRI from DHL Air (UK) to cover for their own aircraft, VH-TCA, which departed Auckland for Sydney and Singapore/Seletar on Boxing Day for scheduled maintenance.
G-BMRI arrived at Auckland on the evening of 07 January as DHK001P from Singapore via Sydney and it is anticipated the aircraft will be domiciled on the Auckland-Sydney schedule for the next 4-6 weeks.
Tasman Cargo Airlines had leased in sister-ship G-BMRJ during the transition from the exit of Boeing 727 freighter VH-DHE in September 2013 while awaiting the delivery of their own Boeing 757 G-CSVS, later become VH-TCA.
