Thumbs down KABO Air

KABO first delayed payment for months and then blown it of completely for Hajj flying 2012. 7 of the original 744 guys have been effected. Now they are looking for new crews to avoid having contact with their current crews. Beware.

Avianaut did you folks make a complain to the NCAA. If not I suggest you file a report making a serious complain to the governing body about this issue.

I see this as very serious and a terrible act by the airline. They should pay all they owe you and in arrears too.

I know this suggestion might look like an endless road witb no results but i do recommend all of you come together if you can and file individual complaints and despatch by registered courrier to the Director General himself.

Kabo bought a former Corsair 744, but defaulted on payment to the lender and the repair station that was doing the heavy check. I think the plane did receive a "5N" registration, but it is probably in legal limbo awaiting action by the banks involved.

Kabo has always had a bad reputation for paying crew.....even in years when they were profitable. Because of this they've been unable to recruit 742 cockpit crews from the Western world. Kabo's crews last season came mostly from Iran and Indonesia.

Kabo is having severe financial problems now and most of their Hajj flights were contracted out this past season. They have shrunk dramatically in the past few years and I don't know how much longer they can survive.
