History

Heavylift was also involved in a consortium with Air Foyle (Air Foyle Heavylift) which operated the large Antonov An-124s as well as An-12, An-22, and An-224 on a charter basis for cargo flights.
Recently (2001) HC Airlines had also started up passenger operations with an Airbus A300 (G-HLAD cn131) under the name of Prime Airlines; however this proved to be short-lived as by September G-HLAD was reportedly stored at Shannon, Ireland.

HeavyLift / AirFoyle worldwide sales agent for Antonov Airlines of Kyiv, Ukraine.

The Belfast is now stored at Cairns Airport. During 2006 work was also underway at Bournemouth Airport to refurbish another aircraft once operated by HeavyLift's unrelated namesake UK airline, the unique Conroy CL-44-0; however it has been reported on various aviation internet message boards that this aircraft will not be delivered.[citation needed] A feature of the airline is that most of its aircraft are not registered in Australia, but in the Philippines.[citation needed] In May 2008, Heavylift bought passenger airline OzJet giving it access to an Australia air operator's certificate.[5] Ozjet discontinued passenger operations in May 2009.
    Air Foyle started operations as an executive air charter company with one Piper Aztec aircraft in 1978. It grew its fleet of Aztec, Navajo and Chieftain aircraft by carrying passenger, cargo and aerial survey flights. In 1979 it pioneered the overnight carriage of courier traffic between the UK and Europe operating a nightly return flight between Luton and Brussels for Skypak (later a TNT company), and later between Aberdeen and East Midlands Airport (also for TNT). In 1985 it started providing larger cargo aircraft to TNT, by then its principal cargo customer, using wet leased Handley Page Dart Herald aircraft operating nightly from Birmingham to Nuremberg and Hannover and these were later replaced by a BAC One-Eleven jet cargo aircraft and then by a Boeing 737-200QC aircraft wet leased from Aer Lingus. When TNT announced that it would order 72 British Aerospace 146 aircraft converted to freighters, Air Foyle won the contract to operate these aircraft on behalf of TNT, then an Australian company. This operation commenced in May 1987 with one BAe 146 aircraft and rapidly expanded to ten such aircraft which Air Foyle then operated for thirteen years for TNT on a nightly schedule from various airports in the UK and mainland Europe into TNT's hub in Cologne and later Liège.
