Slapdash8. A German company carried out the heavy maintenance for Euromanx. They also provided the engineers for line maintenance. The Austrian AOC holder allied to, and with the knowledge, and co-operation of EM management flew the aircraft to Flybe to avoid paying their debts to the German maintenance provider. it was one of the unsavoury episodes surrounding the last few months of EM. If I am correct, the son (who was the CEO at the time) of the former owner of EM has set himself up as an independent aviation consultant in the penal colony he calls home. If you check on any of the aviation fleet websites, I think you will find that the Dash 8, 200 and 300 were purchased by a company in North America.
Ah, thanks for the extra info. It might not all be a conspiracy
