Interesting comment with that picture she has been in maintance for 17 months wonder what she has been getting done?

I guess the rival scheme for ‘best of’ would be the MartinAir Cargo planes and the Fedex scheme is no slouch in the attractive stakes.

The Saudi’s plane went initially to Hamburg for maintenance and then to Zurich for engine maintenance. Finally it returned to Hamburg for a VIP interior to be installed and a paint job.

A concise and illuminating explanation I think Alertken. I guess you are descrbing a chapter of MOL’s unwritten book on ‘yield management’ of which he seems to be an expert. You didn’t mention that he probably bought the 800’s at the right price due to quantity and considering the write offs is probably in a negative tax liability bracket!:D

They are replacing the earlier delivered 738s with the newer ones so its not all fleet expansion with the new jets.

Doubt it – fuselage was dumped outside at Chirk a few years ago.

O.K. Would be prepared to concede it could be OO-AJK which is reported to be under long term rebuild, but if it is at the back of the hangar, this doesn’t sound too promising. If it is this aircraft it has certainly been travelling having been in Brazil, France, Belgium and now the U.K.

Researching this problem has confused me with Brazilian registrations, are they using PT, PR and PP?:confused:
