NEWS FLASH
Two of four Fokker 100 aircraft previously operated by the now-bankrupt former national carrier of Montenegro, Montenegro Airlines, have been sold by the company’s liquidators. The 35-year-old jet, register 4O-AOL, was acquired by the Dutch jet engine trader and lessor Airline Fleet Support for 85.000 euros, while the 32-year-old aircraft, registered 4O-AOP, was purchased by the Serbian company Hashtag for 145.000 euros. The latter also acquired four engines for the F100 for 705.000 euros. The remaining two aircraft of the same type in Montenegro Airlines’ fleet did not receive any bids.
Is the Serbian company planning flights with that Fokker? Seems weird that they bought it - I can't find anything about them online
ReplyDeleteProbably gonna try to sell parts to Iran or somewhere.

ReplyDeleteThey probably need them for spare parts or for some flying school or something like t hat. There is no way those planes will fly again :D

Air Serbia could of bought them, they would be ideal for charters. It would be cheaper then wet leasing Aircraft.
ReplyDeleteAre you for real? Just a D check for this plane would cost more than an entire year worth of wetleasing. Not to mention how bizarre it is for you to suggest for them to acquire a 30+ year old plane, introduce a new aircraft type, hire and train pilots for it, find maintenance provider for it and not to mention it is a gas guzzler.
DeleteThey got rid of the old 737s and now you want them
Deleteto take this old jets?
