if it happens it may be via an European city like FRA, ZRH , CDG with fifth freedom rights only, But i do not see if for a fore-see-a-ble future

this actually did happen.

No idea unfortunately : ( but this will fit in with Air Astana operating flights to CMB which is also starting in December, most charter airlines like SkyUP and FlyOne will begin flights to HRI also in december... was originally scheduled on OCT.

flash question: are ABS and ALT getting special c/s because -ABT is in UL c/s
also, updates on the aircraft that are in maintenance? What is keeping the A21Ns(-AND, -ANE and -ANF) from flying?(I suspect engine issues but I may be wrong)
And then, we have the 727 that's outside the 747 hangar(TU-TAB). what's its fate and why is it sitting derelict outside the 747 hangar?

PS- I'm new to this and still learning things

Hi Haleef, Do you know how plan of scrapping TU-TAB was changed since in year 2015? We still see her parked outside the 747 hangar.

Hi, I don't think that it will happen - plans would've changed. TU-TAB is sometimes used for training if I'm not mistaken, or it may lie parked like that until whoever it belongs to decides its' fate.
As of now, I'm not having any idea of the future plans of TU-TAB.

who does it actually belong to? (asking because that leasing company and the airline are out of business)

edit:= aren't parking charges being charged each day it's 'stored'?

news says that ALH, ALM and ANF(the 'three aircraft with technical issuses they mentioned') will take some time to complete their maintenance.
is ALN active or still under routine checks?

Just Got some info,

Guys, tomorrow an A380 owned by QR (registered as A7-APC) will be visiting CMB from SYD. Not sure why.. But I believe it is a technical stop before continuing to DOH.. This is a very rare sight of an A380 at CMB..
