The owner is in India...am guessing that the landing and parking fees have not been paid. Liens on the plane outweigh the value!

That link that is posted is for a 747-100 not an SP which, I believe, had different specs,

Seems that the FAA has pulled the certificate for this plane as of July 18. Non compliance of maintenance and airworthiness directives.

Guess GPI is going to be hustling to make some bucks to get it back in the air...or they are going to fly it out of there thinking no one will know the difference.

Knowing these people as well as I do, my guess is that they forgot to do that! When the plane was recently on the ground in Mumbai, not only did they forget to service the lavs, they did not take off the food....when the next crew got the plane there were maggots all over the galley!!

Someone better notify the folks at the airport that these people have NO MONEY. They will not get paid unless they bill now!! They have not paid their crews for the last trip and there are already liens on the plane for unpaid bills...Boeing is included in the long list.

A local radio station did an interview with a couple GPI folks. Two different sides of the story and the FAA and DHS are not talking!!!

This is a bad bad organization with a really questionable cast of characters.

I have lots of details but am guessing that the FAA in Harrisburg Pennsylvania has a lot more. There seem to be several liens on the plan...probaly to the tune of more than the plane is worth. This should be interesting....

You bet they are hiding..I think they are trying to get away from all the trouble they are in back in the US.
