Gents, of the 8 737-700 aircraft that KLM have let go, 2 are flying with Luxair, 2 with Equair in Ecuador and 1 with Arik Air in Nigeria. The 3 others PH-BGR, BGU and BGW are now OE-IBZ, 2-BBMH, and VP-CET respectively and are all stored, perhaps they might be candidates as well??????

Thanks for the information, Yusef and Greg. Are any arrival dates known for, particularly the first aircraft?

Back late 2021 we were told 2nd quarter 2022 (which is any time from now) and other communiques have said that the omicron wave has not delayed them, so... soon?
