Re: Confusion as Nigeria's bankruptcy administrator rebrands Arik aircraft
I thought the A340-500 belongs to Carrier from Protugal, it still carries a CS- Registration.
It is definitely not airworthy, some parts of the engines are missing and the rest seems to be in a rather bad shape as well.

First it is an environmental decision and second will make the life harder for Carriers like WIZZ and Ryanair with their strange concepts of employm...
