DAS are trying a number of measures to stay in the air since their grounding, some planes returning to owner in US, and other distributed to other operators on a "pay as you go" basis in the hope of floating.
If you fly secondary routes, at secondary rates, and then still mixing with the likes of Avient, your fate is inevitable.
Avient "proudly profess" to owning all these planes while they merely hold exclusive usage agreement with the owners.
Who knows where Avient's AOC is based ? - bet its Zimbabwean. After the allegations of Avients collusion with, and services to the Zimbabwean Government during the war in the DR Congo, should the European Union not question this company's existance, how it came about, or perhaps which Zimbabwean Air Marshals and Ministers hold a stake in the company. Other neighbouring countries were scrutinised and judged on such issues and it would only be fair for the rest to be done, likewise.
Impossible that Mugabe chased all whitey's off their farms and out of the country, while these mercenaries were for their trouble rewarded with an Air Services License and AOC. Stories in the industry also circulating about the origin of their IL-76 that flies in Africa. Worst of all, that this company who played such an instrumental role to support the Zimbabwe Air Force in the DRC conflict, - today use this dubious and very aged IL-76 to fly support missions for the South African National Defence Force peace keeping operations in Africa - even to areas of the DRC where Avient was earlier alleged to be colluding with Forces bombing those areas and the population.
Perhaps a fellow Russian aviator or somebody with access to the IL Design Buro can check out the original "African" purchaser of this Z registered IL-76, and determine when last it saw the inside of the Design Buro for an official fuselage "life extension".
