Do we know whether it has ever been flown for this operation? Or has it been grounded since the inception of the loan?

i can see in the admin note that another update may be due next week but i wish there was a bit clearer detail on this One.So the aircraft is grounded by Bulgarian authorities and it goes on to say its not technical with the plane and that other income plans are being looked at.So it would be nice to know can the plane fly and if so why not here or are we looking at the next plane disassembling loan?

It seems that the problem cannot be fixed with ablrate's eaglebeaks. However, one of the team is a qualified pilot, which could prove useful.

I get the impression they're looking at leasing out the aircraft to another airline to fly on a different route.

Another update on the site, which I find slightly reassuring.

Why not just sell the plane?

I'd like to know why it's not doing what it's meant to be doing.

Why not just sell the plane? I guess the market for aircraft isn't very liquid.

Why not just sell the plane? That is on the agenda, should it be required

'The primary security comprises a chattel mortgage over 2 x An-26B Antonov light cargo aircrafts.' That's what the borrowing proposal says but I've only found evidence of one of them buzzing around with funky new paintwork. Also the recent admin note seems to refer to a singular aircraft, "...to make sure the aircraft is making money again...". Anybody know what happened to the other one? Did it definitely get bought?

'Aircraft' can be singular or plural.

'Aircraft' can be singular or plural. Yes but phrasing in the admin note of "...the aircraft is..." would suggest singular. As would the absence of any flight records for the 2nd aircraft.
