N531EA is
NOT ON AN AOC - it cannot be 'Chartered' It is a privately owned/registered aircraft on the FAA N-register. It is not a PART-135 aircraft and even if it was, if it's flipping around all over Europe for hire and reward as a European-based and operated, but US-registered jet, that's still illegal - cabotage, freedoms of the air etc. etc.
This is unearthing a heap of trouble. I do hope the NTSB and the AAIB, the CAA and DGAC are watching all this.
