Just twigged that there is no PH-BVE - any particular reason that anyone knows? Or do they plan to slip a leased 773 in that slot?cHabu wrote:.

Correct, their intention is to operate a total of 10 aircraft.n5205e00421 wrote:This months "Op de Bok" (monthly publication of the VNV, the dutch airline pilots association) includes an interview with Martinair's management team:
"Ons streven is dat de Airbus A330-200 in het laatste kwartaal zijn entree gaat doen."
It says they intend to operate the A330-200 with 325 seats before the end of the year, 2 aircraft in Q4 2008, 2 in Q1 2009, and 3 in Q2 2009.
I assume these aircraft are bought from another company?cHabu wrote:Correct, their intention is to operate a total of 10 aircraft.n5205e00421 wrote:This months "Op de Bok" (monthly publication of the VNV, the dutch airline pilots association) includes an interview with Martinair's management team:

All depends on how the future is going to be for the company.
Should be decided in April 2008.
Don't quite understand you question, but AFAIK all aircraft are planned to be sourced from AFR but that might depend on if AFR/KLM is able to take-over MPH.nuckleuz wrote:I assume these aircraft are bought from another company?cHabu wrote:Correct, their intention is to operate a total of 10 aircraft.n5205e00421 wrote:This months "Op de Bok" (monthly publication of the VNV, the dutch airline pilots association) includes an interview with Martinair's management team:

I meant if Martinair is going to buy its aircraft from another airliner in stead of directly from Airbus.cHabu wrote:Don't quite understand you question, but AFAIK all aircraft are planned to be sourced from AFR but that might depend on if AFR/KLM is able to take-over MPH.nuckleuz wrote:I assume these aircraft are bought from another company?cHabu wrote: Correct, their intention is to operate a total of 10 aircraft.

If i'm correct it has been mentioned several times, that these aircraft are planned to be sourced from Air France.nuckleuz wrote:I meant if Martinair is going to buy its aircraft from another airliner in stead of directly from Airbus.
Seems odd, as I'm pretty sure the Air France fleet is nearly fully utilised, and if AFR are "selling" their A332s to MPH, they will need replacement aircraft themselves.cHabu wrote:If i'm correct it has been mentioned several times, that these aircraft are planned to be sourced from Air France.nuckleuz wrote:I meant if Martinair is going to buy its aircraft from another airliner in stead of directly from Airbus.
They use on the 767 and MD11 PW's. The 747's have GE. But i think in the view of being completly taken over by AF/KLM, they will have the same eninges as the AF/KLm fleet. So probalby GE's.flying_kiwi wrote:Seems odd, as I'm pretty sure the Air France fleet is nearly fully utilised, and if AFR are "selling" their A332s to MPH, they will need replacement aircraft themselves.cHabu wrote:If i'm correct it has been mentioned several times, that these aircraft are planned to be sourced from Air France.nuckleuz wrote:I meant if Martinair is going to buy its aircraft from another airliner in stead of directly from Airbus.
I think the best solution would be to deal with leasing companies and receive aircraft from that source.
The real question is whether they'll have PW or GE motors.

The 744's of MP fly with PW PW4056 engines. So all PW engines in the fleet except MCN wich has GE CF6 engines.bigfoot wrote:They use on the 767 and MD11 PW's. The 747's have GE.
