Yes, you're right. There was a Midex aircraft on the ground at NBO. It was doing its first charter flight for the company.

According to a mate of mine who worked for Midex it doesn't look to rosy. Their infrastructure is a bit of a mess, to say the least. Last month they were looking for an A300 TRI/TRE for two days, yes two days to run the sim for recurrent training. So far nobody took the "bait".
I hope it will work out for them boys over there right now.

Nothing flying right now. No schedules no crews. Some odd charters to Maynmar for the quake relief efforts. Still a long way to go.

Midex - Unlikely
Gents - Am afraid commercially their whole business model doesnt stack up, Indian subcontinent feed to large plane to Europe, Worlds 5th largest integrator etc...sorry price of fuel and other Middle East carriers operating regional freighters to all the same places and guess what adequate lift nowadays direct ex sub continent. My guess is Midex is Empost 2 and they havent flown in a while now have they.? and even when they did it was ACT charters via IST. A300 B4 is not a plane you can make money with am afraid. Even the big boys EK / QR / EY with their A300-600 and A310s dont have enought work and their costs per kilo are beyond market tolerance..But would like to be proved wrong as the business is losing its entrepreneurs daily...

Heard from a friend, Midex 747 crews are getting checked out in MIA this week, then JAA course in a couple weeks in UAE. I believe, all ex-Focus?

@WhaleDriver,
Whats the latest on the check out of 747 guys.
Also the JAA course that you are talking about, is it for the 747 or A300b4 crew?
