Atlas Air Worldwide has stated it will bring a 747-400 freighter out of desert storage and buy two 767 passenger aircraft to convert to freighters to go along with the 10th new 747-8 freighter the operator will add to its fleet in November. Analysts at Cowen say the decision to put the 747-400 back into service is the result of extra work created by the U.S. military bolstering its forces in eastern Europe.
