Response:

I had used the Air Courier Association for several years and liked the service. Liked it so much that I became a lifetime member. Then came 11 September and they have eliminated all courier flights to Europe except for London. Never mind the fact that there is no explanation on the site, nor is there an email address to ask them why, when I called them they said that courier flights to Europe have been suspended indefinitely. Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, does anyone know of any courier flights to Europe?

You need an explanation of why courier flights were canceled after 9/11?
