I am want to purchase this:
Will they ferry the aircraft or will I have to go to Sudan and pick it up?
How much would shipping and handling be?
They don't give any financing options - I'll call the guy tomorrow.

Oh my God! ... This airline is a total joke!!!!!
Look, they are also soliciting the lease of Airbus aircraft and a 767 - Check this, on their website they spelled Boeing wrong!!!!! They spelled it "Poeing".

Maybe we can all chip in, buy the B707 and change it into A.net Livery and make it our First International Tour Airline!!! It will stop in all A.net cities and host seminars and more... waow.... I have one heck of an imagination

Cool!!!
Everyone put in a £/$!!!
How much would a 707 cost these days?
I don't know why they didn't just go on eBay like Dr.DTW said? It would take evryones mind of the selling live8 tickets...

I've flown Sudan Airways before and believe it or not apart from the 24 hour delay the on board service is actually not too shabby at all.
But this is a new low for SD, it's a shame because their headquarters in KRT is quite an impressive building, if only they spent the money getting the airline operating correctly.

We are trying to send our 707 here in Sudan, the Hawaii of Africa, back to the fornocating satens in the land of the great infidel to witch it was unleashed upon the world with endless need for maintiance and hungry motors that blow hot winds of smoke and ash. Ahh yes.... An F-150 would carry many bags of government donated cheese to feed the goats! Lets do this, yes?

If I throw in a few grand, will you share?
Quoting JohnStevens (Reply 9): I've flown Sudan Airways before and believe it or not apart from the 24 hour delay
24 hour delay? I get pissed at an hour delay! Nothing like on time service to that critical meeting... For the service to still be good they had better have "sexy stews" and not f/a's.
Quoting Bohlman (Reply 14): If only I had as much money as John Travolta
Sigh... I am jealous he can afford *multiple* aircraft. Sigh...
If I thought we could raise enough to buy the plane, ferry it to Europe and then the US *after* it gets its A.net livery, I'd do it! I doubt we could raise the cash for the paint job.

Quoting AMSSpotter (Reply 7): Check the word "Catering". Don't you just love the Disney-fonts they're using?!
Its not just catering ,even Maintenance , Public Relations and Tourism.
Best of all , look at the schedules , they only mention when a plane departs and arrives back at Khartoum, it does not mention when it reaches the destination .

I see a Sudan Airways 737 at CAI every time I'm there. The planes look legitimate, and relatively new/clean/well-painted. They have a somewhat respectable looking office in downtown Cairo as well. So they SEEM okay, from the outside at least. But this whole 'P'707 thing is pretty damn funny...

Quoting Capt.Fantastic (Reply 4): Stay away from this carrier. Must be stupid, backwards people running it.
Sudan Airways it the national carrier of an extremely poor country. There isn't enought money for anything, including running a world-class international airline.
My guess is that the people who run Sudan Airways are the best and brightest of Sudan.
Worked for too many airlines to list. Banktupcy after bankruptcy after bankruptcy.

my guess would be that you're right, but not that the best and brightest of Sudan can't figure out something like "boeing", but rather that they're smart people just getting into a very technical, complicated, globalized, and foreign-language-dominated market.

Could it be that people are willing to donate a sum equivalent to their next a.net installment to the region? (I'm not sure whether there's a functional state of the Sudan any longer)

What about Ethiopia. They are poorer though they have a good class airline
