Kiss - quite hard to untangle so far.

We have a UK company based in LGW called Meridian Aviation (UK) Ltd, (listed now on the 7th Floor of Norfolk House) or Crawley Town Centre originally (but I think that’s a solicitor’s address off the High Street as I walked past that one).

The trading style of this company is called “Kiss Flights”, with a website at http://www.kissflights.com. Click on the Meridian Aviation link on the front page and you get this …..

Kiss Flights is a trading name of Meridian Aviation UK Ltd, a leading UK aviation broking firm who have been established for over 10 years.
www.meridian-aviation.co.uk

Then you look at the domain registry details of kissflights.com and find that their web site is hosted by a subsidiary of Sky, based in Brick Lane (but that’s just a hosting deal). However their website Admin contacts details listed are all based in Sweden with Swedish phone numbers.

This then links well with the fact that they are using Viking Airlines as a carrier, also a Swedish based company, or as some have stated there are even alleged closer links than that. The domain details, listed a few posts below, also show another link to a company in West London called “The Hogarth Group”, but also mentions a new name in the same detail list, "Kiss Airways Limited".

Do a search on Kiss Airways Limited, and one of the Google links takes you to the UK Intellectual Property Office, where there is an entry to register a Trade Mark under case number 2466440A. This was filed a year and a day before the XL Big Bang, on 11th September 2007.

This application lists goods and services offered as:

Airline services; operation of an airline; transportation of passengers by land, sea and air; aircraft seat broking; lease, hire and chartering of aircraft for passengers for leisure purposes; travel agency services; holiday tour operator services; arranging and organising of tours; car hire services; etc, etc, etc

Now what's a company into Leisure Centres (Squash Courts etc) got to do with Kiss Flights, Viking and Kiss Airways Limited leaves me at a loss for now.

Still searching though
