The problem with this type was there were not enough aircraft of this type flying in Europe. The aircraft had to carry spares in the cargo belley incase it got a tecnical fault, there are hardly any maintance hangars in europe were O.A flew this aircraft which had the approvals and spares to work on the aircraft.
It was a nice airplane to fly but finacial it was not economical, I read in greek magazine that it had to be careful how much payload it took bcause the spares were heavy.
