Bellview Airlines (threads merged)
 

Whats going on with the 76ers for Bellview Airlines, got me all excited not too long ago and now nothing!!! Have they found crew yet ! Anybody with some news and when they will start this operation!

Come on Bellview lets get going:ok: :ok: :ok:

Bellview Airlines of Nigeria named this Boeing 767-200 N806HE, "Charity".
The ex-Varig aircraft was painted here at GYR and was parked on the
TIMCO Ramp in November 2004. Also N805HE, "Unity". also an ex-Varig aircraft was parked on the
TIMCO Ramp too.

Both aircraft left Goodyear for Marana. They were spotted conducting air tests on April 16 (source: cactuswings website).

The airline's new website offers a newsletter "Preference" http://www.flybellviewair.com/bellviewnews.pdf in which it's said that the a/c will also be registered in Nigeria soon.

No news on route commencement, although all indications point to a Mumbai initial route.

No further info available.

These pretty birds should be in Naija anytime from now.

It will be a pleasure to see Bellview operate the 767,s . I am however informed that Ansett from whom bellview years back leased an A300-600 may have put spanner to the works . This may not necessarily put a stop to the delivery but could delay it.I am informed there are still some outstanding issues regarding the A300-600 lease.

WHY, HOW BIG IS THAT SPANNER MAN :sad: :sad:

WHAT ARE THE OUTSTANDING ISSUES WITH ANSETT Gander707
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW :* :*

Zazoo

:ugh: :ugh:

That mean $$$ :E

If my memory serves me well, Ansett seized back its A300 from Bellview somewhere in Europe due to lease default. I could be mistaken, I just hope a settlement was/is being finalized prior to 767 deliveries.

I am sorry to have jumped the gun but being in Africa to long makes you think about these things.

PS: I really hope things work for them as they are not a bad airline at all (for African conditions and situations).

A week or three ago their manager in ACC was still boarding a few late pax and the pilot shutted the door.

He started shouting at the pilot from gate 2 and the pilot just showed his watch and taxied away :E

God Bless the manager - he ran away :p (a good guy by the way) ;)

Saw an a/c at the international wing of lagos airport in BELLVIEW colours. Appears to be a B -767. Maybe they have
sorted their problems afterall.

Guys,
One of the 762 touched down in Lagos this morning, its at the Delta Wing close to the Virgin Nigeria A320.

Bellview Long Haul Launch
 

Will the other 767-200 follow shortly? I find it odd that an aircraft would be delivered and flight schedules have not even been announced yet. This means no back log of reservations and planes will fly almost empty initially.

Any plans for these a/c other than Mumbai and Johannesburg from Lagos and Freetown respectively?



Thanks

This is Absolutly Smashing :O :O :O :O Great news guys really great news. I am so proud of the people at Bellview, you can all walk with your heads high.

I presume they have sorted it all out with those people with a big hammer :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: whom ever they are !!!

Dman how about a picture for me please I am not in the country and would like to have a glimps of it never mind the resolution of your camera.

Once again Congratulations and hopefully when the second aircraft arrives and the inaugural flight takeoff we shall jubilate.
:ok: :ok: :ok: :ok:
