Hi.
So far its seems no one (even the Bissau authorities and dedicated spotting sites) cant find any clue regarding true owner or operator.
Plane, an ex-Kuwait Airways A340-300, registration C5-AST, was registered couple of days ago at Banjul but so far no one lift a bit of the veil.
It seems according some links in portuguese, mother language in Guine-Bissau, the plane was arrested after Bissau President issued an order to let it land...after that, both pilots (turkish ones), and engineer (mexican guy), fled the country without trace, and the anonymous 340 its rotting at a corner in Bissau Osvaldo Vieira Intl Airport.
The reason of the landing and operation at Bissau remains also in secrecy.
There is also a string rumour that Portuguese authorities along with Bissau authorities are searching for a possible connection between some shadow ops btw Brazil, Bolivia and Europe via Bissau maybe using the alleged aircraft.
An interesting story indeed...Link in Portuguese »»»
