Inquiry: DHL Freight - Kelly Long - 06-01-2019

Newbie so don't yell at me :!:
On a flight search for DHL I see two airlines with very few flight's. They are as large as FedEx.
Are they listed under a different name or code? Or likely, newbie me ignorance?
Maybe they don't post scheduled flight's (I hear many don't since 9/11)?
Anyhoot - Just newbie curiosity! 8)

Hello Kelly,

I'm not sure about the status of that airlines schedule, however did you know you do qualify to become a flight officer? If you have access to the real world flight data for DHL, you can enter the flights and fly them! Read more about how to become one here -> viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7679

With the after effects of 9/11, freight carriers are very leery of posting their timetables. I am starting to find a few regular carriers doing the same.

Now that I am working from home full time and have plenty of time on my hands, something I might work on the near future is monitoring cargo flights (FedEx, UPS, DHL) on FlightRadar24 or Flightaware and seeing if I can create some schedules to upload. I have a paid membership on FR24, I can get archived flights in Excel and convert them for uploading onto AirSource. I'll keep you all posted on that endeavor.

You are most welcome Kelly! For starters, I updated ABX Air (Airborne Express) with a current schedule. Going to continue working on more cargo as time permits but expect some regular updates.
