TNT Airways (Liège) will likely continue to operate as it does today along with Spanish subsidiary PAN Air (Madrid Barajas) after UPS has announced that it has given up plans to acquire logistics competitor TNT Express. UPS expects the European Commission to not approve the proposed transaction that would have eliminated one of four major competitors in the European express freight and logistics market leaving just DHL, FedEx and UPS. UPS had previously offered the European Commission to sell TNT Airways and Pan Air to Dublin based ASL Aviation Group which already owns Air Contractors (Dublin International), Europe Airpost (Paris CDG) and Safair (FA, Johannesburg O.R. Tambo).
