Evergreen International Airlines (Marana) is to close with effect from November 30. US regional paper, Yamhill News Register, says a memo to all Evergreen employees from Human Resources Manager Monique Gregory said the cargo carrier intends to end all operations. “The last day of all operations will be November 30, 2013," Gregory wrote in her memo. "Therefore, the last day of employment for employees will range from current day (11/07/2013) through November 30, 2013, with a small number of specific employees remaining to complete the closing requirements ... The loss of our company is very unfortunate; however, we appreciate your continued excellent service during this ending phase.” Subsidiary Evergreen Helicopters (McMinnville Municipal) will not be affected by the closure. Founded in 1975, Evergreen currently operates three B747-400(F)s on various civilian and military charter flights though its business has been adversely impacted over the past several years by decreased demand in military spending and weakness in global markets.
