not really a lessors market in the long term, but good demand for charter in the short term, ie:contracts for the middle east are being distributed to us and uk FRT operators( reg) and nobodies around to pick up on it in the uk, such a shame.
i for one would love to piggy back a competitive charter operation under the umbrella of the mother carriers jars et all. as there is a demand for this, and this is where our african registered friends are thriving, there was a thread a while back questioning the ethics of the caa's who register these aircraft but each country they fly to requires an audit on the carrier and they are approved.
why did nt aer turas re-equip ?? or go one size up
