Globe Jet lost its AOC

Lebanese CAA has pulled the rights of Globe Jet Airlines (based in Beirut) to operate. It seems the three TriStar 500 are now in the process of being sold. Those were ex-TAP/Air Transat aircraft:

MSN 293B-1239 OD-ZEE (impounded at Santa Cruz)
MSN 293B-1243 OD-JOE
MSN 193H-1246 OD-MIR

Globe Jet's OD-ZEE II

L-1011-500, OD-ZEE, MSN 293B-1239 was impounded at Viru Viru International airport (Santa Cruz - Bolívia) after LAB ceased its operations, earlier this year. The aircraft is still stored at VVI and its future doesn't seem very bright unless the $4m owed is paid.

You can see here a photo of this aircraft taken last September. OD-ZEE was the old TAP Air Portugal's flagship with registration CS-TEA.
