Information on GO

[Lenny]

I am looking for company information about GO. There is nothing on their website about the company. Anyone can help me or give any advice on how to find it?
Thank you for any help

Dear all
I just need information about the company, such as type and number of aircraft, name of Director of FO, Chief Pilot, fleet manager, routes and destinations, and if possible plans of expanding business.
Maybe a GO pilot can help me?
Or at least give me an advice on how to find it.
Thank you very much!

Try the IPA probably not too much info, but may be a start.
www.telegraph.co.uk (http://www.telegraph.co.uk) and www.thetimes.co.uk (http://www.thetimes.co.uk) have a search through their online issues.
Tried the BA website?

Thank you very much UB and GAA.
The GO website reqlly lacks of information about the company, except their routes.
I also searche BA but they have nothing. I will search the links you gave me GAA.
And if by chance any GO pilot/FA/employee wanted to help with first hand news... as info on their company is the best kept secret in civil aviation!
Thanks again :)

Lenny,
rereading your post above, the IPA will indeed be able to give you most of the info you require. I got the times link wrong it is www.the-times.co.uk (http://www.the-times.co.uk) and www.ft.com (http://www.ft.com) might show some other stuff that's business related. You could give them a ring at the PR department (they must have one) and ask them to send you information.
If all that fails, there is always the tedious option of trawling through the last 12 months issues of Flight, digging out the relevant bits!
Are you going for interview? Just as a matter of interest, what's your experience level etc.?
All the best

[Lenny]

Thanks a lot for the tips GoingAround!
God bless you for your kind heart!
By the way, I'm not going for an interview. Are you trying your chance with GO?
Thanks again!

Not any more. I've just spent the most tedious and frustrating year of my life post OATS gathering info and badgering airlines in case they ever called me for interview. Fortunately Brymon did and I start in April.

Best of luck with whatever you need the info for!

Go - at the moment, a wholly owned but independent company of British Airways. However BA are in the process of selling Go by way of raising revenue and because it (apparently) doesn't fit in with their strategic plans - estimated sale price anything between 2s6d and £300M, depending on which newspaper you read.

Go currently have 13 aircraft. All are Boeing 737 - 300's. About one third of these are under 2 years old. Two more B737-300's are due for delivery at the end of March (or thereabouts).

At the moment Go only have one base, this is at London's Stansted airport. Company address.

Go Fly Limited
Enterprise House
Stansted Airport
Essex
CM24 1SB
UK

That said, a new UK base is shortly to be announced, and I believe that a new European base is in the offing as well (possibly later this year, or early next) - this is all top secret so don't tell anybody, right ?!.

CEO - Barbara Cassani
Operations Director - Ed Winter
Director of Marketing - David Magliano
Accounts Director - Lynne Hodgkinson
Chief Pilot - Ed Winter (a temporary assignment, whilst a new post holder is recruited)

GoingAround, I'm glad your frustrating years came to an end, and I wish you the best of luck for your new start. :)

Crashdive, thanks a lot for taking the time to answer. Straight to the point.
I can see there are a lot of changes coming, and that draws a big question mark for the future plans.
Don't worry for the confidential information, I'll be a sphynx ;)
