Hellenic Imperial Airways Boeing 747 registered SX-TID departed Athens today at 17:20L as IMP473 for CGK (Jakarta, Indonesia). It is probably going to CGK for maintenance and painting at the Garuda Maintenance Facility Aeroasia (GMF Aeroasia). Both SX-TIE and SX-TIC have been in GMF Aeroasia for C-checks and repainting to the new colors of the company (SX-TIC is still with GMF and expected to be back in Athens soon).

Elite Airlines 747 SX-DCB parked in Jakarta (Update)

Elite Airlines Boeing 747SR-81(F) registered SX-DCB is still parked in CGK (Jakarta, Indonesia) as the picture below shows. It was moved from it's parking position that was a few weeks ago and was brought forward, closer to the GMF hangar. This is where the 747 of Hellenic Imperial Airways (SX-TIC) used to be parked in the previous weeks. Probably the HIA 747 is in the GMF hangar for the C-Check. Does the movement of Elite Airlines' 747 mean that it's in the queue for the hangar for a check? We will find out shortly!
