t still beats me how a WGA aircraft can liberally hop around Europe on a Nigerian callsign, chartered by a UK company, now that NGA has closed down and Neff no longer has an EU AOC at his disposal? Do the Germans, Belgians and French all turn a blind eye to the rules, or am I missing something?
It is called ACMI, I am surprised by the lack of knowledge on the subject. The airline is operating on the the WET lease of the customer, the customer has a certificate, the aircraft is chartered for aircrew,maintenance and insurance.. long standing standard of business. Buyer pays for all other associated fee's and files the flight plan, more importantly THEY pay for the fuel. Additionally if one could climb up the NLG of a MD11 they would have access to the E&E, if the dead guy was able to open the door an alert would be displayed (possible reason for diversion) though he would be fighting cabin pressure, possible to partially make his way into the #3 pack bay.
