PostSubject: fleet status MK Airlines   Sat Jan 24, 2009 8:55 am

current status of MK Airlines Boeing 747-200 fleet. Please add any updates/corrections!

registrationcoloursstatus
G-MKAA standard CofA expired 15-8-2008
G-MKBA standard operational
G-MKCA standard operational
G-MKDA standard CofA expired 4-10-2008
G-MKEA white/blue tail CofA expired 25-10-2008, stored Filton/spares?
G-MKFA standard CofA expired 19-11-2008
G-MKGA silver sold to Boeing for tests?
G-MKHA Air China cs operational
G-MKJA white operational
G-MKKA white? not registered, ex HS-ORA, stored Filton/spares?
F-GCBD white operational


Where are G-MKAA, MKDA, MKEA, MKFA and "MKKA" located? All at Filton?

The CofA of MKEA was valid until October 2008, but the aircraft was not seen around since January/February 2008...

Further, since some time I only hear MK Airlines use "British Global" or "BGB" as callsign, no more "MKA". Anyone to confirm this?

F-GCBD left LUX already March 20th and will not return (well, not for MK Airlines).

G-MKHA departed yesterday around 07.30.

Ah Suspect I thought I saw it at maintenance on Saturday and then leaving.
But if you say it left already it might have been LX-PCV I saw. Didn't check my radio. I just saw that it was all white.

G-MKKA was entered in the British aviation register on 17-4-2009, so maybe it might not take long before we see it here.

Info on http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=60&pagetype=65&appid=1&mode=detailnosummary&fullregmark=MKKA
