According to the notification issued on Sunday (26 May), several letters were sent from CAAB to remove these abandoned aircraft, but no response was received from the owner companies. Therefore, the aircraft were confiscated.
According to CAAB insiders, the aircraft are being prepared for auction. If no buyers are found at the auction, they may be sold based on their weight at a per kilogram rate.
