This has been parked up for the last couple of days. Not one of Atlantic Airways usual aircraft. Not sure of the reg, though the operator and nosewheel door is a clue.

Magicbird are a seperate company which was set up after Magicblue wound up before operating any services.
The company’s aircraft presently operate under Atlantic’s AOC operating 1 aircraft on a Stockholm Arlanda – Sundvall service on behalf of the Swedish Post office, with a further aircraft which has been operating out of Italy for Atlantic / Italian Postal service, however this is now at EMA operating BFS services for the Royal Mail I think.
I believe they are hoping to have an AOC at some point early next year – plenty of work out and about for this type of operator 🙂
With several friends and former collegues working out there I wish them the best of luck!
