Was this like the Orange Air/Linejet N-194AT FAA Ferry permit from MIA last year?
No, not similar at all.
If you actually read above, you will notice that the extension procedure is RR approved....and contrary to what TShirt might expect.
By the way, LineJet has another airplane, from the same source, same circumstances as with the first, is the rumour.
Delivered last month, and it will retain FAA registration.
They also have their Saudi FOC approved, so I'm told.
A third airplane is in the works for these folks, for spares.
I can only assume it will cover the Hajj then?
Sort of making a pilgrimage in more ways than one?
No, longer, as follow on contracts are in negotiations now.
