let me see, K2000 was going to be the next Kiwi international, run by the same guy i believe, i only worked on one flight in Hamilton, that was just after new year 2000, i think, can't remember the exact dates, i do remember the flight crew were all middle eastern, never left the plane, kept getting in our what while trying to service it, and were generally a pain in the ass, we all came to the same conclusion that e would not want to fly with them,, the a/c was leased from the middle east somewhere, someone else may be able to shed more light on it

oops, i stand corrected K2000 ran a 737-4Q8, not a 757, my mistake, they did fly from December 1999 to February 2000. some pics are here sorry, should have done a little research icon_redface.gif the a/c was leased from Pegasus airlines
