European Airlift
Taken at Brussels in April 1991, the B707 was the only
airframe to wear the full colors of EAL. The attempt to get it
into the Belgian register failed. (Photo: Skystef) |

| History: European Airlift (EAL) was formed on August 8 1990 by Luc Mellaerts and some business partners in Zaïre to operate world-wide pax & cargo charters. Two aircraft were leased from parent company Scibe Zaïre and one from Air France. In 1994 flying operations ceased and EAL was declared bankrupt on April 7 1994. The French DC10 would later see life as OO-JOT with another project of Mellaerts: ChallengAir. |
