    I remember i saw NEP once in a hangar of an institution. But cant really remember. Its last flight to JHB prior being donated was flown by two of my friend.

     

     

    Thanks for confirming it went to JHB. I have now found pictures and references to it being used for maintenance training at JHB in Sapura Aero's hangar. Here are a couple of links:

    NEJ has been transferred/sold to an operator in Indonesia. NEF is the sole aircraft in Neptune's fleet.

     

    Geoff NEP B722 has been donated/sold to a university. Have seen a picture of it in a hangar with students in the background. I believe it is in JB. Maybe someone can clarify.

     

    Thanks for the info Raj. I've searched the net for photos at the various training/education facilities that have aircraft but I haven't found anything yet showing 9M-NEP. MIAT at Dengkil have had a B727 for a long time but that is an ex TWA machine.

    Mavcom revokes permit of umrah charter operator Eaglexpress Air

    KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom) on Tuesday revoked the air service permit (ASP) of global umrah/hajj charter operator Eaglexpress Air Charter Sdn Bhd effective Dec 21 for failing to comply with certain conditions within the stipulated timeframes.

     

    The four-year-old Eaglexpress, the country’s second charter airline after Berjaya Air Sdn Bhd, operates flights to Saudi Arabia from North Africa, the Middle East, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Malaysia.

     

    Mavcom said in a statement that with the revocation of the ASP, the Kuala Lumpur-based airline would not be able to carry by air or use any aircraft for the carriage of passengers, mail or cargo for hire or reward on a non-scheduled journey over domestic or international routes.

    9M-CJG Bombardier Global Express is being sold by Caterham Jet to AirAsia for US$10 million. Caterham Jet paid US$24 million for it in July 2012. That is a lot of depreciation! Bursa announcement below:

     

     

    AirAsia Berhad (“AAB” or the “Company”) wishes to announce that it has entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA” or the Agreement”) with Caterhamjet Global Ltd (“CJG”) on 21 June 2016 for the acquisition of one (1) unit of Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express 9M-CJG (“Global Express” or the “Aircraft”) for a cash consideration of USD10 million (“Transaction”) subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement with the purchase price to be satisfied by cash from the Company’s internally available funds.
