Olympic Air A340's
Not sure if this is the right area to post this but does anyone have an update on these?
Last I heard they had been sold to a company in Miami and that they were being prepared to fly. As far as I can tell they are still in Athens though?

Just for the record, they aren't Olympic Air's A340s. Olympic Air, which is the current, private sector airline has never owned, leased or operated them. They actually belonged to the Greek Government who leased them to the state-owned Olympic Airlines and Olympic Airways. At privatisation the new company had no use for them as there was no intention of long haul flights, so the government put them up for sale, along with all but 4 of the other planes in the old Olympic fleet.
