Fokker 50 registered SX-BRV arrived in Athens

The third Fokker 50 that was seen all white in AMS (see post), registered SX-BRV, arrived in Athens today at 01:40L. It is parked on closed taxiway "Zulu" together with the other 2 Fokker 50s, registered PH-KVE and PH-KVF, that were already in Athens since July 31st (see post). They are expected to be the startup fleet of Hellas Aviation, a joint venture between First Prop Aviation and Hellas Jet. The former two planes, PH-KVE and PH-KVF, were resold in a deal that was arranged by Cabot Aviation -who was responsible to sell the ex KLM Cityhopper planes to potential buyers- to First Prop Aviation. At least those two are expected to be wet leased to Hellas Jet and start flights within the next couple of weeks.

Fokker 50 registered SX-BRV seen all white in AMS

Another all white Fokker 50 registered SX-BRV (named "Victor") is parked in AMS and is probably waiting delivery to Hellas Aviation (along with the other two Fokker 50s, see post). It is an ex SAS Norge plane that was returned to lessor and was parked for long registered as PH-ZDI (c/n 20199). Delivery date is not yet known.
