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.
