Hi AfgAirOps, dont think they'll find it difficult to get out of the third aircraft deal because like all their others just mere measures and arrangements for convenience. Hear DAS is also getting more busy again on other routes and flying ME to Africa so presume for time being at least they will need the aircraft.
If rumour is anything to go by it will indeed be very interesting to trace the origin, purchaser, and delivery process of the IL-76 - and to learn, apart from LK, who the other local Zimbabwean shareholders in Avient are - equally to see the official Design Buro - fuselage life extension of this 1970's (one of the very first produced) IL-76.
Know of people standing accused in The Hague for less, or otherwise hounded out of business.
Who is protecting this crowd - and why?
