Wraia Nea apo tous geitonous !!
The ongoing diplomatic spat between Serbia and FYR of Macedonia over the latter’s arrest of the chief Serbian Orthodox Bishop in Skopje has now resulted in the immediate repossession of both Boeing 737-300’s leased to the Macedonian national carrier – MAT.
MAT has been defaulting on the ACMI payments for these two aircraft for many months now, and until few days ago the Serbian Government - as JAT’s owner, turned a blind eye. Now though, Mr. Velimir Ilic - the Minister for Capital Investments has instructed JAT to bring the two airliners back home; his decision directly resulting from the arrest and imprisonment last week of the Serbian Bishop. This move will badly affect Macedonian Airline’s schedules, maybe even resulting in its demise due to its massive debts and poor credit rating.
Recalling of the ambassadors is the next step hinted, hope that sanity will prevail!
