GLobejet L10LL

Does anyone know if Globejets aircraft are parked in Lebanon. We sent them a deposit of $475,000.00 USD and they did not charter nor did they send our monies bank. I hear they had their license revoked. Is Joe Atallah still the owner?

Globejet

I don't know who would feel sorry for these guys. We sent Globejet a deposit for a charter of $475,000.00 USD they did not position aircraft and did not do the charter and did NOT return our monies. Never received call backs from them, they changed their number, they changed their address in Canada. Left several (100's) of messages and never got a call back.

Globejet

He (Joe) recently sold 2 aircraft to a Libyan outfit. Although as several vendors have not been paid I'm sure they are candidates to be seized once they start operating.
Another is impounded in Santa Cruz, Bolivia
Another is in AMM with monies owed.
Joe seems to have left a trail of debris wherever he went!
The only people he seems to have paid were the crews which he needed.


FYI: here's a link to the company that bought 2 of the Globejet aircraft.

Hello all,
I have just received this link from a well trusted source
http://www.skygate-int.com/hajj.pdf
In it Skygate claim to have 4 Tristar-250s on this years Hadj operation.
I can only find two that are active (airworthy ??) EX-044 c/n 1245 and EX-056 c/n 1237.
They have JY-SGI stored at Amman but not flown in a long long time ( dates anyone ??) and I think they have connections to a Krygistan registered one that is safely tucked away in Victorville.
Any comments observations from our learned Tristar artisans out there much appreciated.
Though not Tristar related any ideas which 747-300s they are after ( Not the ex Travel City Direct aircraft??)
Thanks in anticipation
Be lucky
David

Last I heard Skygate did not have an AOC that was acceptable to the Saudi authorities for Hajj ops.

Page 7 of their pdf file states
The Saudi PCA has granted the FOC on every Hajj season and for every SGIA operated aircraft
Perhaps they are being economical with the truth
They also claim their 2 or more 747-300s will be on a European AOC.
Comments and observations appreciated as ever.
Be lucky

How very odd, considering the fact that they were not seen in JED during the last Hajj movement.

BGW, where is this? Not on our database.
Send a PM with complete details although the time frame is rather short.

These might be the Hellenic (sp?) aircraft out of Athens.

You need to ditch your expensive database and use Google

Type in BGW airport and voila Bagdad

OK - that's 411A's education progressed and now he knows where Baghdad is. I detect something 'commercial' coming along here, so be warned - it will not be tolerated on the open forum, but feel free to wheel and deal off the forum.

There's a whole lot of them sitting in AMM ready to roll!

Hi everyone!.

Have some of questions regarding the Private Tristars out there, any
answers would be very much appreciated:

The two that belonged to the Saudi Royal Family (msn 293A-1249, msn
193G-1250), and are now property of a Vegas Casino (Las Vegas
Sands), why are they parked at Ardmore?.

I heard that they are to be used in a Las Vegas -Macau operation,
does the Tristar have the range both ways?.

A Saudi prince has two, (Abdul Aziz Al-Ibrahim) one parked in the
middle east (msn 193Y-1195), and another one parked at Marseille(msn
193G-1250) . Why are both grounded?.

Is it because of a lack of spares?.

How much would it cost to purchase one of them?. (The Saudi Royal
Flight ones were sold not too long ago)

How much approximately would it cost to keep this machines grounded,
and how much would it cost to keep them operating?.

Has anyone seen any of these machines inside?. Does anyone have
recent pictures of them?.

And another question:

There is a company called Dragonfly Brazil that supposedly has private tristars for charter service.

They advertise a "royal l-1011". But if I`m not mistaken this is one
of the machines that belong to the Saudi Prince (msn 193H-1247),
does the Prince rent it?. They also claim to have other Tristars
(250 variant) for charter service, what airframes are they (serial
number, registration number))?.

Is it a scam?.

I saw from a message board a rumour that msn 193H-1247, would be
sold to the U.S. goverment, is it true?.

All the best

Camilo

Interior mods, I'm told.
....and another one parked at Marseille. Why are both grounded?.
Severe birdstrike for the one parked in France.

Quite possibly.
Did you get your L1011 up & running yet?
Waiting for marketing and on-going maintenance.

The L-1011 parked in Marseille is a -500 s/n 193H-1247, ex-Jordanian Royal family.

The L-1011 parked in Lyon is a -150 s/n 193M-1019, ex-Air Transat, Air Canada, Eastern & Haas Turner.

1247 is the Al Anwah aircraft in MRS with birdstrike.
It is on Saudi reg but they would not let them 2 engine ferry.
Bad engine currently in Jalco being repaired.

411A 3 Oct !
If all goes according to plan, look for scheduled L1011 passenger service into Europe, in the not very distant future.

Funding approved, aircraft being inspected now...


Well getting the aircraft up and running for EU is not quite a 3 week wonder is it
PS Got Enhanced Mode S yet
