Here's a more direct link to the list:

ZS-OAK is on the move , left Dubai south about 10.00GMT heading SW after a rapid climb.

So far as the rather foolish loan (guarantee?) is concerned, anyone familiar with the sad story of the uncompleted 4-aircraft purchase from Bombardier by Palestine Airlines about 18 years ago will recognise the propensity of the Canadians to do whatever's needed to shift a few Bombardier aircraft on to a possibly dodgy buyer.

Through Jeddah airspace and on for Khartoum.
If he hangs a left there , he's probably on a home run.
There is no way this route could have been taken without a formal flight plan , which shows that aviation authorities
have no jurisdiction where civil disputes are concerned.

Libreville anyone ?

Landing about 1755Z. A GLEX departed LBV about 20Z enroute Contonou, not sure if it is the same one.

Yes that 's the one , still there I think.
Interesting flight pattern....maybe a S Atlantic crossing from Benin.....who knows ?

Any more updates?

PZU - Out of Africa (Retired)

Still enjoying the delights of Benin by the looks of it !

Moving on?
Could be about to depart for pastures new..

Now descending into Banjul, Gambia. :confused:

Court orders Guptas' jet to be grounded
 

Here's the latest developments......

Court order ground Gupta Jet | African news network 7


But now the question is: where is it?

If anyone knows, please tell the South African CAA.......

This is an incident in a developing saga of state capture, criminal trials, corruption, and attempts to evade justice.

A couple of us here might beg to differ on that one. ;)

I think it is still parked on the south side at Cotonou.
The latest intel about Banjul now seems a bit suspect , although I may be wrong.
The flight to Banjul from Cotonou seems to have been carried out be a different GLEX which landed there [ Cotonou] a couple of days ago then flew to Banjul where it landed around 1530 today.



"The tracking device on the leased Bombardier Global 6 000 business aircraft, with the tail number ZS-OAK, was switched off so that it could not be traced after the bank terminated the Guptas' lease agreement owing to payments defaults."

Interesting that this still seems to be the general opinion.
The tracking device / Mode S transponder , was never turned off.

Either way ZS-OAK is either at Banjul , or Cotonou and if the court has ordered it to be grounded , then in theory that's where it will stay awaiting eventual storage at Lanseria..

Be interesting to see how this plays out.

Thanks, I just saw it as a GLEX. Anyway, if they owed me that much money, I'd sure be making phone calls and dispensing gratuities to African FBO's to follow these leads.

I would be very surprised if Phil Taylor doesn't know exactly where this a/c is , down to the last few metres.
It has been handled by so many agencies in the last few weeks that every minute of its flight time has been recorded in detail.
Ask the right questions of the right people and all would be revealed irrespective of its inclusion in the BARR list.

Come to think of it....pay all my expenses and a finders fee of one million dollars US and I'll go and put a wheel clamp on it myself ! :O)

The GLEX that left Cotonou for Banjul yesterday is now on its way back.

Then there was one......

Having left Benin , Jet Magic's Global Ex is about to land Marakesh , so by my reckoning that leaves just one GLEX at Cotonou , south side.

I see it every day
 

ZS-OAK is parked on a ramp in Dubai (DWC) for weeks now.
