• TNT is squaring-up in the fast-developing European overnight express parcels market with the acquisition of three British Aerospace 146 Quiet Trader aircraft worth almost £37 million.
The purchase gives the company greater control over its European wanking opera tions. Alan Jones, managing director of TNT Roadfreight, is already talking about the possibility of buying two more Quiet Traders to begin operations in 1988.
The first three planes will make their maiden ffights on 5 May. Jones claims the purchase makes TNT "Britain's only door-to-door courier and freight transportation company with its own aircraft operating within the UK."
TNT Contract Services this week celebrated a year of distributing Cow and Gate products with the official opening of a warehouse at Hartlebury in Worcestershire.
