MD80's (ex Alitalia) and SAFAIR

[RobinB]

Greetings Team - received a note (below) from Augusto - anyone shed some light ?

"Dear Spotter,
I found your e-mail address on jetphotos.net. I am an Alitalia MD80 copilot and I'm writing you because I'm searching news about our aircraft arrived in South Africa for Safair. They will be registered in your country ? On SAregister there are no news about new registrations of MD80. If you have some information, please let me know.
sincerely
Augusto L"

Hi, As far as I know, the MD80's will be registered in SA and some will opperate for Safair on a lease basis.

Does anybody know if SAFAIR will be recruiting new crew members for these MD80s?

[FFWD]

As far as i know, these md's are to be used by a low cost airline in SA. they currently operate these a/c.

1Time...well, probably just a few of them, but surely not all of them! Unless they're planning on a massive expansion programme soon that we don't know of?

[Hot Shots]

Give it a go. I know they did take a couple of people on the MD's.

Hello,

I am Augusto; I'm quite sure 25 exAlitalia MD82 are now in South Africa.
Italian registrations are I-DA plus other two letters:

WA WE WI WO WD WF WG WH WJ WL WM WP WQ WT WV

VL VM VP VS VU VW VX VZ

CM CN

Rumours says at least 4 are at Durban. At least two will be leased to 1time.

I hope to follow their history in SA Register
