I know this is the company that lost a 747 on takeoff out of Bagram other than that i've never heard of them.

It was Nationair that crashed...not National Air!

No, it was National that lost a 747 in Afghanistan...

Nationair was a Canadian company that crashed in Saudi Arabia in 1991

National Air Cargo .. Three letter NCR.
They operate a handful of both the B757 and B747.
I've seen their B757 at YHZ & YQX on tech stops doing troop flights for the USAF.

Their Cargo op has been into YYC a couple times a year.

I thought their passenger op was more for US/UK troop movements.

That lasted a little longer than I thought it would.

Yep.

They were going to run a B767 YVR - MCO starting last May 4 times a week - but they said they didn't have enough interest and sales were too low......so they never showed.

It's amazing how travelling public gets sucked into using these shoe-string, fly-by-night outfits

That's what the news link story was about

Fair enough, but any different than a lot of 703 companies in Canada?
