Riddle me this… I was watching some spoopy aircraft over Chile earlier that had 'Military' status, displayed as JetSmart and my almonds were activated.
Some further digging found that on Flightaware, these planes identified as Yugoslavian Air Transport.
This is from Wikipedia.
Jat Airways (stylized as JatAirways; Serbian: Јат ервејз / Jat ervejz) was the national flag carrier and largest airline of Serbia, and formerly Yugoslavia. Founded in 1927 as Aeroput, the airline ceased operations during World War II. After resuming flights in 1947, the airline was renamed Jugoslovenski Aerotransport (abbreviated JAT, Serbian pronunciation: [jât]; "Yugoslav Air Transport") on 1 April 1947. The airline was renamed again on 8 August 2003. Jat Airways and their predecessors were one of the oldest airlines still in operation. Flight operations were based at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, and the airline operated scheduled services to 72 international destinations, outside the areas formerly part of Yugoslavia, as well as charters and wet leases.[3] Jat Airways was owned by the government of Serbia and had 1,250 employees.
On 1 August 2013, the Government of Serbia and Etihad Airways entered into an agreement that reorganized the operations of Jat Airways, and renamed it Air Serbia after the transitional period ended.[4] Certain assets, such as the ATR 72 aircraft, would be transitioned to Air Serbia, while other assets (such as the 737-300s) would remain in JAT Airways branding until retired.[5] The change marked the end of 66 years of the JAT brand.
So, former Yugoslavian / Serbian planes transferred to Etihad (UAE) as well as Air Serbia, they are operating over Chile flying routine services with 'Military' status, doesn't anyone else find this a little odd?
