This looks like fun...as a passenger. The tail number is P4-XTL.

Why is it registered in Aruba ?

Any details about the pilot side of this operation ?

Nice (concept) work: that's all CGI...

Spotted a SA's 767 in STN last year (Captain's choice, said the printing along the fuselage...) while TAG operates a 757 is (very) low density searing-configuration IIRC.

pz,

So, it's all just a sham ? Possible, I suppose.

But, what's this then ?:

Why is the airplane registered in Aruba ?

Aruba is a tax-haven (read tax-dodge) i believe. Many execs are registered there. Abramovich's 767 as an example.
