20 MINUTES of AMAZING PLANESPOTTING at COLOGNE - Boeing 727, B747, A330 ... (4K)
Cologne Airport is well known for its cargo operations. As the biggest european hub for UPS the airport has to handle numerous cargo flights every day. The video starts with a B747 of ACT Cargo which operated some flights for UPS for a while. The aircraft usually operated between Hongkong and Cologne with a technical stop at Astana. Aerotrans Cargo also operated a few cargo charter flight to Cologne. The yellow B747 is operated by them and still wears the former livery of its previous operator, Centurion Cargo.
There was also an interesting Airbus A330 of Capital Airlines from China which operated some cargo charter flight between China and Germany. The aircraft is a passengar airplane and carried cargo in the belly and on its seats.
The biggest highlight at Cologne in 2022 was the Boeing 727 of Starling Aviation for sure. The classic jetliner operated a charter flight from Paris to Cologne and of course I showed up at the airport. M-STAR was obviously the Star of the year.
