Mama Air aren't even flying yet......they have been a "paper" airline for quite some time.
My other half lives fairly close to Manston where they are supposed to be setting up & there's no sign of any pax aircraft there apart from the occasional Air Atlanta 747 in for maintenance, otherwise it's just the odd russian freighter or cargo DC8 parked there.

Theyve got a pretty cool website at www.mama-air.co.uk.

Not too sure about the livery though!!

Seems pretty ambitious - cant see it coming off myself, but we'll wait and see!

Possibly more suited to Airlines, Airports & Routes, but.....

Well suprise suprise, me thinks skydrew69 might just have been right! Their website is no longer accessible.

It was fairly ambitious though - ideally a startup would want typed 737 pilots - I think Ryan & Easy have probably absorbed most of those at this stage. That leaves the expense of typing new people, and not what a startup would want really - additional cost etc.

Secondly, that area of Kent I believe is not necessarily the best part of the Garden of England - (compost end perhaps?) Persuading guys & gals to join a startup airline in the current era of instability, and to move to such an area would take a lot of effort. The prospect of living in an area of high unemployment, and apparently - according to a previous poll - an area where the local inhabitants aren't too keen to work, might not appeal to many.

Perhaps the absence of their 'online booking system' and website is an indication that they read things wrong - and oh, how wrong.
