Anyone aware of how the new FBO is going?

McDoo

According to the most reliable source possible (the refuellers at FAB), the two OS CL6s there are impounded due to non payment of debts and one is actually in the process of being sold by TAG to cover them.

Just reporting what I heard so don't shoot the messenger if this turns out to be urban myth....

pabely

looked like business as usual at Luton yesterday

McDoo. Urban myth.

Where would you like the bullet?

Daifly

They're both up on JetNet as being for sale by TAG.

Not sure if it's the Urban or the Myth that were wrong.

Flintstone

As always there are several versions of a story and somewhere in between lies the truth.

Sad if true, but as posted by F'stone, maybe they're just re-trenching in this difficult charter market.

I think a lot of the answers to the above thread may be found in this recent posting on Forbes:

OS advertising today for Captains and FO's due to 'fleet expansion'.

CaptainProp

Are you referring to the add on their web site? I think that's been there for months.....

MIKECR

Nope, its the one on avianation. First time i've actually come across that particular site so not sure if its any good.

Very unusal advert considering they have no Lear 45's they all went at the end of June the 60 went 12 months ago and the 605's are parked at EGLF.

Flintstone

One 605 is at EGLF, the other is a 604 and they aren't Ocean Sky's aircraft any more.

Score, one out of three

Dont worry

Hi !
Yes, what's the deal with the adds?
They have placed this add already 2 times in the previous month.
Most probably they are just hunting for resumes to have some in stock if the business is going up again.
Anybody from OC who knows what's going on?
Cheers

I understand they have lost a Global as well and that is at EGLF.

aeroncaman

Avianation is a private business, who advertise crew vacancies, and make money by selling subscriptions to jobseekers, as well as placing crew with operators

They trawl the internet and all the business jet operator websites. If vacancies are showing, then Avianation will list them, and then block the detail, so that one has to buy a subscription. These vacancies, may not be in date as is probably the case with Ocean sky - whose website has carried 'vacancies' for a long time.

With all the recent talk of fleet reductions at Ocean Sky, I notice
a Gulf 4 was registered to them on 10/7 as G-SADC (according to G-INFO).

This aircraft is registered to Ocean Sky(UK) Ltd whereas the rest of the fleet
were in the name of Ocean Sky Aviation Ltd.
Not sure whether this has any significance.

That's the ex G5 Exec G-450 with the amazing colourscheme I think. Went onto the S5- register as S5-ADC for a while.
Have no more info about it though.
