LONDON – Global SuperTanker Service, the group that owns the Boeing 747 SuperTanker, shut down the jumbo air tanker’s operations last week.
In an email sent on April 21 to officials in Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and the federal government, Dan Reese, President of Global SuperTanker, said, “This week the investors that own the Global SuperTanker [GSTS] just informed me that they have made the difficult decision to cease operations of the company, effective this week…”
“This is extremely disappointing as the aircraft has been configured and tuned with a new digital drop system and other upgrades to make it more safe and efficient.”
