There was some talk 3 weeks ago from a Bangladeshi named Sabir that was funding the Skyeyes freighter in BKK.
His company is RAK freight I think out of DXB.
He claimed to have bought all 3 Thaisky Tristars.
2 pax and 1 freighter.
But his whole cockpit crew walked out of Skyeyes 3 weeks ago over salary issues, non payment reduced payments etc.
Some are owed months of back salary and returned with the promise of back salary to be paid, this never happened.
The owner of Skyeyes (Sunny) tried to reduce salaries of some others after bringing them to BKK.
The ground engineers with this company, 2 Egyptians are not very good as the state of the aircraft clearly shows.
This info is 100% correct, be careful of these ones, they talk a good game.
There also talk of the lease company Atlantico (not sure of the correct spelling)
wanting to repo this skyeyes freighter for non payment of the lease and is being blocked by the Thai courts.
I heard an attempt to repo the aircraft was tried a while back and the repo crew was detained.
