Ahlhorn Holding Company (AAG)

Slide2: 

The enormous growth rate in air cargo has led to more and more congestion at Europe‘s major air cargo airports. The smaller air cargo handlers in this segment of the market as well as the cargo distributors are suffering from this situation. For this reason, several Cargo Interests have joined together to go their own way to solve this problem with the formation of the Ahlhorn Airport Company.

CFB Aircraft Company: 

CFB Aircraft Company CFB Aircraft is an aircraft management company for the leasing industry, small airline fleets, and its own aircraft. CFB provides services for the Lisbon Finance Group, MCIA AG, Dombrass Aero, Astro Airlines as well as Trans Meridian Airways in the U.S. At present CFB currently manages 30 aircraft including: 2 Boeing 747‘s; 4 757‘s; 14 Lockheed TriStar L-1011‘s; 3 DC 9‘s; 3 DC 10‘s; 2 Russian AN 12‘s; and 2 YAK 42‘s. Under CFB‘s management CFB SkyWays will soon be conducting flights from Germany with their L-1011 Aircraft instead of leasing them to other airlines.

ECF LLC: 

ECF LLC ECF, European Cargo Facilities is active in Eastern and Western Europe in Cargo Airport and Facility Development and Financing. Together with the AAG, ECF plans to enter the cargo market in Europe, Russia and the former Soviet Countries. ECF will concentrate on the agricultural and aircraft parts segment of the cargo industry using negotiated partnerships with Russian and Greek companies. ECF is planning to take over Hellas Air Cargo in Greece and negotiations are under way with Touch Air Cargo in Peru. ECF has also begun negotiations with the government in Yaroslavl, Russia and the Rybinsk Motor Works (Saturn Rybinsk) to expand existing contracts.

AMS : 

AMS AMS, Aviation Maintenance Services Company, holds EASA Part 145 maintenance licenses for the servicing of Airbus, Lockheed and Boeing Aircraft in Europe. Through their joining with CFB SkyWays and the AAG, they have satisfied the EASA requirements for maintenance service operations. With AMS facilities based at Ahlhorn the CFB and SkyWay fleets can be maintained in an extremely cost effective and efficient manner. By having the AMS at Ahlhorn, fast and efficient conversion services will be available, providing the cargo division with decidedly advantageous options for the highly competitive global aviation market.

Ahlhorn Airport‘s Goals: 

Ahlhorn Airport‘s Goals Initiation of existing contracts utilizing the facilities at Ahlhorn International Airport. Concentration of these contracts through the joining of the SkyWays companies. Expansion and development of the perishable goods distribution triangle (Central Europe – Southern Europe – Russia) Development of the service hub for the distribution of Russian industrial and aerospace cargo. Expansion of the aircraft maintenance service facilities at Ahlhorn for aircraft in Central Europe. Centralisation of maintenance and delivery services for CFB Leasing customer‘s aircraft.

The Global Cargo Network: 

The Global Cargo Network The following graphs are used to illustrate and explain the marketing principles contemplated and why we have chosen the AAG Project objectives. The following information is strictly confidential and mis-use may be subject to legal action.

Present Cargo Routes: 

Present Cargo Routes This graph shows the present routes to and from Central Europe. At present the major deliveries are made at the FRA, AMS, OST, LGW airports. 50% of all flights are made with an empty return. 30% have no connection between these airports and need land transportation from that point to point. The colored routes are Air Cargo Routes. The black routes are truck routes. Currently the present route network is very inefficient. Note the strategic location of the Ahlhorn Airport on this map!

Phase 1: 

Phase 1 With the new start-up at Ahlhorn, perishable food and agricultural product distribution by air cargo will be centralized. All agricultural product contracts from Greece and Turkey destined for the North German Market will be delivered to Ahlhorn instead of Amsterdam as is presently the case. Instead of using regular commercial airlines and smaller turbo prop aircraft, the Lockheed L-1011 freighter with 55 tons of cargo capacity will provide a much more effecitive means of freight delivery than is currently in use. Dragonfly 747-200 will be moved to Ahlhorn and commence enhanced ExJet modifications.

Phase 1: 

Phase 1 The L-1011 Cargo Aircraft will fly 5 Flights from Ahlhorn to Thessaloniki in Greece daily. At Ahlhorn the Greek cargo destined for Russia will be to transferred to another L-1011 and delivered to Russia. Cargo that is destined for Central Europe will be loaded on to trucks. In this way the delivery time to Northern German Cities will be reduced from 9 to 5 hours. On the return flight from Russia, the export cargo from Yaroslavl and Rybinsk will be transported via Ahlhorn to the final destin- ations.

Phase 2: 

Phase 2 In Phase 2 the cargo capacity emphasis of the L-1011 will be expanded to include other exclusive CFB clients. This means that CFB client companies such as RAF, AVIA and Air Lithuania, will then operate using Ahlhorn as their new cargo hub, instead of Oostende, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. The same logic will hold true for the Italian Cargo Carriers. Most of these clients are flying to Holland and not to Germany due the high cost of current landing fees at the major existing German Airports.

Phase 2: 

Phase 2 The yellow lines on the map indicate feeder airlines that will be bringing cargo to Ahlhorn and Tunoshna in Russia. The black lines are the truck routes. In this way, the transport of agricultural products and industrial goods between East and West can be delivered much more efficiently.

Phase 3: 

Phase 3 In Phase 3 the Ahlhorn International Airport cargo hub will be expanded to service the global exporting of agricultural and industrial European products. Therefore, Boeing 747 Service for flights to the USA and the Far East shall be initiated in Phase 3 from the Ahlhorn. Dragonfly 747-200 ExJet Maiden Flight London-New York

Phase 3: 

Phase 3 Tunafish from Spain with the RAF AN 74 Fruit from Israel with the CFB AN 12 Fruit and vegetables from Greece with the L- 1011 Jet and Gas Turbine Engines and Parts from Russia for Rolls Royce and GE with the L-1011 Distribution with the RAF AN 74 to Berlin and LGW. Food Products for Asia and jet engine parts for the USA collected at Ahlhorn for delivery with Boeing 747‘s and L- 1011 of SkyWays and Trade Winds USA

Ahlhorn Objectives : 

Ahlhorn Objectives Initial cargo handling of 70,000 tons within 1st year in Phase 1; Increase to 100,000 tons per year in Phase 2; Goal of 170,000 tons per year as the maximum handling capacity at Ahlhorn in Phase 3. This goal is reachable within 3 years and can be maintained ad infinitum.

We are assuming that the Ahlhorn International Airport is capable at full capacity of handling a maximum of 200,000 to 300,000 tons per annum without any new construction being required. No new construction is planned at this time.:
