9G-AED is stored at Manston so Air Charter Express seems to be bust?

Meridian has now two active birds. one in Africa and the other in the Middle Eas.

9G-AXC was noted active last April at Abu Dhabi.

AED stored!!????

Bye bye DC8, I will miss them.... Classic era of aviation is officially over

All I can hope for is to see the National 63 or ZS-OSI now... Slim chance...

Indeed very sad. The site of Air Charter Express is now also down.... Homepage

Maybe AED will be picked up by another operator.

Meridian was busy trying to get off the EU black list but that chance looks slim.

AXA,AXB and AXD are all stored now for a long time at OST.

9GAED

Heard from a good source 9GAED has been sold to Hanover Aviation to work along side ZSOSI from Manston, still life in the old birds yet. Z

Meridian Airways where never parked in Manston, that is Air Charter Express. That Aircraft has been sold to Stars Away of South Africa. Meridian currently has two aircraft flying. One that has had extensive maintenance carried out & is ready to depart Ostende. One that is currently undergoing maintenance & one awaiting its maintenance input.

ZS-OSI has been in and out of Manston a couple of times. 9G-AED departed for a C check on 15th July.
