Try Intavia, they have some DC8-62F's. that can operate worldwide. And they have lots of experience in the UAE.

I am suprised that the original post from someone that must have had access to the tower or know the controller did'nt know the registration or callsign of the aircraft

DC8-63F in UAE
The registration of the aircraft that overrun the runway @ EMA is 9G-LIL of Johnsons Air, belonging to the controversial Farhad Azima. The aircraft was formerly registered as 9G-MKO and part of MK Airlines' fleet. Its last MK-flight on EBOS, one of MK's bases, was on 20 December 2005.

Nope....
Snarfel, methinks you are on the right track but a bit wrong 
... 9G-LIL and 9G-FAB are owned and operated by Farzin Azima, not Farhad, and both of his aircraft are run as a seperate operation - different company name, support etc - to Johnson although they share the same AOC, and I may add that Farzin's aircraft are operated very well and reliably ...Overrun?...nothing to report on that one...

Justforfun,
You might be right, 9G-LIL and 9G-FAB might be owned by Farzin Azima. However, you fail to mention that Farzin (also spelt “Farsin”) is Farhad Azima’s brother (same father, same mother).
Furthermore, if you consult Aerotransport.org, whose information seems to me even more reliable than the presumed reliability of Farzin and his aircraft, you will find that 9G-LIL (msn 46147) is ex 9G-MKO and that its operator is Ghanaian Johnsons Air, formed in 1995 by Farhad Azima. The same applies to 9G-FAB (msn 46121), ex N786AL.

Snarf

Snarf,
LIL and FAB, operate under the Johnson Air AOC, and that's where the connection now stops - both aircraft are owned and operated by Race Aviation, which is Farzin - well aware that Farhad and he are brothers... however, Farzin operates this seperatly and is a good operator - been operating for us for some time now, and we have no issues with them whatsover....
Cheers

Snarfel and Banzai Eagle,
Farzin has nothing to do with his brothers operation. Runway overrun in EMA, a bit blown out of proportion. Before putting your stamp on carriers such as Race Aviation, I suggest you get your facts straight. Farzin is running a good an safe operation, that I know for a fact, since I have flown with some of his crewmembers in Farhad's operation, "Johnsons Air", 2 years ago.
Justforfun, friend, how's the Sheraton bar? Miss that place!

Race Aviation? I didn't find any existing airline company under that name. Strange. But there was from 1985 to 1991 a California company, called Race Aviation. It was then reorganized by Farhad Azima as Aviation Leasing Group. Possibly just coincidence or just a tight inner circle, who knows?
