Swift Air Cargo ‘claim’ to be the lawful owners of these planes.

The registrations are Icelandic. In every leasing chain there is an audit trail (paper/electronic trail). There are also airport and tower records as to who brought each aircraft in to Sepang. It cannot be that much of a mystery to unscramble since we are talking about very large aircraft that would have been noticed every day by many people in authority. It seems me to me that there is a certain lax approach at Sepang that could do with improving.

You would think so, but they could have been leased from a company that leased them to another company which may have gone out of business, and the operator may have gone bust and disappeared, the 3 aircraft could have built up large airport fees to be payed hence they are still there.

Surely these TF-ARM, TF-ARN, and TF-ARH should give a sound clue to the last owner of the three Jumbos and could they not take it from there?

Actually three 747’s are ‘available’. Not really a ‘bizarre’ advertisement in the paper, probably a legal requirement in case there is any dispute over ownership and subsequent law suits.
