I believe they are formally JAL aircraft. At least one is already at Leipzig being converted

@ Dresden...

Is it already clear who will operate them ? (EAT Gmbh or ACL ?)

So far it seems EAT is on the winning hand, but no official statement has yet been released...

I heard ACL might operate a few of them (5 or so).
