Devil VIP flying out of Luanda,Angola

Hello everyone;

I am a senior cabin crewmember who is currently going through an application process for an EUROPEAN VIP operator based in Luanda (I was told they are/will be based in South Africa too)
VVIP experience and fluent portuguese is mandatory plus training experience...

Im going through a french broker.They have been very misterious in relation to the airline/client but I was told its a very HIGH PROFILE client..

I only know for sure the client has/will have 10 aircrafts from FALCON900 to bigger aircrafts and it will be worldwide travel.

It cant be SONAIR (they have much more than 10 planes)nor EXECUJET (they have their hub solely in SA...)

Do you think its EMERALD group with their AIR TWO? Or even GESTAIR ?

Does anybody have a clue on who might be the operator / client?

Thanks in advance and ...Happy flying everybody !
Solander.

With the French / Portuguese / Angola connection, it might well be Omni.

The fleet is listed here:

Group Fleet - OMNI Aviation

Sounds like Sonair. They differentiate their fleet by purpose/customer group/"market" so the fleet size might be right for the VIP fleet (i.e. they might not count B1900, B727, B737, Q300, F50 to this fleet). Out of my head, it is basically A319s and different Falcons.

The airline "connected with Sonangol Oil" is Sonair.
