Hi,
They apparently have a B747-400BSF registered in Moldova with perhaps a second one on the way. There does not seem to be much information about them. I'm curious to know who is behind them, are they well funded, who do they fly for, do they have regular routes, do they have enough income to operate/maintain an expensive 22+ year old aircraft, who currently does their maintenance...?

The reason I'm asking is that I saw Direct Personnel advertising for EASA licensed maintenance staff.

Actually they are (together with Pakistani's AHS B742's AP-BKS/BIO) all over in the Belgian press with there Belgium - Libya flights. Articles are in Dutch or French however see "Les biens à bord des avions vers la Libye sont contrôlés minutieusement" - 7SUR7.be (http://www.7sur7.be/7s7/fr/1502/Belgique/article/detail/2287888/2015/04/15/Les-biens-a-bord-des-avions-vers-la-Libye-sont-controles-minutieusement.dhtml)
Just google.
By the way, anyone knows whereabouts op BIO, still in MJI? Damaged?

Thank you for the reply Hydroplane... :ok:

Stay away. Same construction as Eurex and the other short lived 747 ops in that area.

Pakistani AP-BIO and AP-BKS seem to be of the planet?
In the meantime Moldova ER-BAM B744 is flying empty half the planet to Ostend to load doves, goats, sheep, horses, ducks, eggs, canaries and indeed Lama’s for the local pet shops in Benghazi and Tripoli. Makes economic sense. Can anyone explain?

AP-BKS was still active until at least last March

This beast flew from Doncaster (UK) to Tripoli this morning. I know appearances can be deceptive but when it arrived in DSA it looked about ready for the scrapheap. Talk about patchwork.
