AI aircraft in LIS on 03-Sept-2015
Just wondering why there was a AI plane in LIS on 03-Sep-2015. Plane was parked away from a gate. I thought AI didn't fly into LIS.

Thats a former A332 still in AI livery, which is now owned by Apollo Aviation.
They are in LIS because SATA was supposed to take them. Now it seems Onur Air is picking them up.

That was VJMs private jet, similar to Trumps 727. Its sitting in a former AFB in California now. It was transferred to KFA in 2007, VJM got himself a A319CJ about 5 years ago.
