Albanian Airlines has agreed with the administrators of Ansett to acquire one of the bankrupt carrier’s stored BAe 146s, series 300 VH-EWS (msn E3197). Albanian carrier bought a series 200 from BAE Systems in April 2001, to begin the process of replacing its Tupolev Tu-134s. The airline also began negotiations to acquire a second example of the type. Other vendors also offered the airline 146s, however, and negotiations proved quite protracted as the airline sought the most favorable offer.
