If the unnamed carrier mentioned in a Flight International advertisement this week was hoping for anonymity then it probably should have checked the small print.
The advertisement covers the auction of five Boeing 777-200ERs, all with Pratt & Whitney PW4090 engines, and aged between 10 and 14 years.
It doesn't identify the seller, just describes it as a "reputable airline", and all inquiries for auction documents are being handled by its consultant, DVB Bank.
But there might be a clue in the last line, which lists a 16 May deadline for offers - at noon, er, "Cairo local time".
