Alis Cargo (777PF) defunct?

https://www.skyliner-aviation.de/regdb. ... av4&page=4

Both their 777 "preighters" have been returned to lessor, meaning the whole "fleet". No plane left. Is Alis Cargo of Italy gone, or just in the process of getting real freighters?

Its still only D-ABYA, the plane which was used to introduce the current design more than 4 years ago, which carries the new look, and that in the short-lived al...

Re: G-BNWL first British Airways aircraft in new livery?

I always liked the Utopia scheme. A unique idea.
However, it was a marketing mistake that they painted mostly exotic schemes first. 50% British, and 50% from the rest of the world, I think that would have worked with the public.
