Ex Emerald Aircraft

Emerald had 1 freighter in service, which was converted from a passenger aircraft, without large freight door.

There were 2 aircraft (the ex Biman aircraft) which had been fitted with large doors. One was flown to BLK for the completion of the cargo conversion but was then robbed to pieces to support the other aircraft. The other aircraft IFAIK is still in Bucharest.

The Biman aircraft needed lots of work on them anyway (TCAS, EGPWS, major check etc) so would need LOADS of money spending on them.
