Hi Rossi,
No trouble. Sad indeed, but perhaps not unexpected. With Delta
apparently uninterested in the aircraft AerSale really had no choice
expect the dreaded 'part out' option. AerSale certainly tried their
best to market the aircraft, but with hardly any market to speak of
the fleet clearly faced a grim way ahead.
Thanks for the interesting sales pamphlet info. I note that the hours
done by each aircraft are very similar to the overall cycles. Only two
of the MD90 are not listed for sale by Saudi Arabian, the w/o HZ-APW
and the VIP machine HZ-APF (although this is meant to be part of the
AerSale deal).
Once the engines are gone things don't look very bright for any
aircraft I agree...
I'll keep my ears to the ground and let the group know if I find out
anything else...
Best regards
Jim
