More questions about the intricate Avient connections!
According to Aerotransport.org, Avient’s DC10, Z-ARL, has Chalons-Vatry as its base. Consulting
http://www.avient.aero/partnerships.htm#airline, I see this confirmed, but who is the UK based Airline Management Group (AMG)?
There was also a Airline Management Group in Ostend and according to
http://www.cleanostend.com, the Ostend AMG had connections with arms dealer Duane Egli (ex-Zaire and probably now residing in Miami). Furthermore, Egli’s Ducor World Airlines became International Air Services (meanwhile listed on the EU ban list and having ceased operations). But searching for the IAS address, you get the London address of Andrew Smith, mentioning “IAS c/o Avient” and in April 2006 Avient still confirmed having leased both IAS Lockheeds, without any further comment.
Very, very bizarre! Does anybody have more explanation about these alleged interconnections?
(Just for the record, Avient seems to have a second DC10, the ex-N401JR (46590), which was on April 17, 2006 still flying for DAS Air Cargo [see
