Air Namibia liquidators Bruni and McLaren have reportedly received an offer from Cameroonian company ZeJet for the purchase of the former airline’s four Embraer 135 jets.The firm made a US$3.94 million - or N$68 million - offer for the aircraft and ground handling equipment, a letter by ZeJet CEO Christophe Semengue - seen by Namibian Sun - showed.The transaction would involve the West African airline paying for the equipment and jets in four instalments, the letter, which is addressed to the liquidators and Air Namibia&#039;s acting CEO Stanley Kariko, said.“The first stage [would involve] the acquisition of ground equipment and tooling for an amount of US$90 000 (N$1.56 million), the second stage second stage [would involve] the acquisition of spare parts and consumables for US$850 000 (N$14.7 million), the third staged [would involve] the acquisition of two aircraft for US$1.5 million (N$26 million) and the fourth stage [would involve] the purchase of two additional aircraft for US$1.5 million (N$26 million)," it read.The newly founded airline group also proposed taking delivery of the last two jets once all transactions had been concluded, Semengue wrote in his bid.“We are willing to complete the transaction described above until [the] third stage with the aircrafts in current condition, as long as the two aircrafts included in the third stage are V5-ANF and V5-ANH."ZeJet recently received the green light to operate, pitting it against Cameroonian state-owned airline, Camair-Co.Another bidNamibian Sun contacted Air Namibia liquidators Bruni and McLaren last week following another bid for the liquidated airline’s jets, but no responses were forthcoming.Last Friday, Namibian Sun quoted partners Progress Aviation and AB Airlines as saying that Air Namibia&#039;s liquidators had sold its aircraft to local aviation company Fly Namibia below market value.Meanwhile, former Air Namibia employees are currently squatting at its old premises in hopes of receiving severance packages - totalling N$105 million - 20 months after the closure of the airline in October 2020.
