I agree with EGNM. Prime were an attempt at a passenger operation by Heavylift, so they dissapeared at the same time.

No I’m pritty certain that Prmie had nothing to do with Transair other than their single passenger aircraft may have previously being operated by Transaer, and they were inm fact the passenger arm of the former Heavylift who operated mainly A300s, C-130s and Shorts Belfast aircraft.

Thinking about it now, I’m sure there was some link there to TransAer after they went under. I’m pretty sure the Prime A300 was an Irish reg as were TransAer.
I seem to remember one of my colleagues at the airport nickname Prime as “TransAer – The Revenge!” :p

From memory, they went bust sometime after September 11th attacks. Their A300 was based at EMA, but rarely seemed to be used apart from some work on behalf of British Mediterranean (BA Franchise). Apparently, they had Cabin and Flight deck crews on airport stand-by a lot, staying in the airport hotel at EMA.
Don’t know what happened to their A300.
