On another website that I am a member of, there is an ongoing thread by a pilot talking about the same trip in the same type aircraft. As I would have a hard time believing that there are two Kingair 200s that need to be ferried from India to US, I believe this is the same aircraft. The way this pilot is talking lends me to think he has the contract.

So the job may not be available any longer, however, don't take my word for this. So you might double check and see if the ferry job is still open.

If you do get the job, have a great time, it will be a hell of a trip. One more thing, if you do get the job, have Universal or some other international handler do all the paperwork and flight planning, this is from a voice of experience.

Good luck.

To add to con-pilots advice, if using Universal, you'll need a hefty bank balance too, not just a good routing

No, Universal is not cheap nor are any of the other international handlers, but if you try to do all planning, including overflight permits and landing permits, and something goes wrong, they would have been cheaper at twice the price.

Never the less, do carry a lot of cash, you'll need it no matter if you use a handler or not.
