Was browsing PPJN and found the following about ocean Sky

"closing down Austrian AOC, financial situation in UK very unstable"

Outlook:
unsure - hiring stopped


Is another operator about to shut up shop?

Hey Smeagel's Boyfriend

Could you post the link for this, is it a commercial or financial decision ?

I've been told OS have just got the contract to do ground handling worldwide for Netjets. Doesn't look like a company going downhill to me

Handling for Netjets in several bases in Europe?
Ocean just have two FBO´s - Prestwick and Manchester.

On the gulf you have a roster 14/14 (+maybe 2 travel days).
Nice guys on the Gulf.

The other informations about the Austrian AOC and the salarys are (sadl) true.
Financial situation seems a bit unstable for the moment.

Everybody hopes it will be better soon but who knows.

Anyway. Ocean sky is backed by a Russian family, they have some aeronautical experience already (ocean cargo).

and do you know that less than 6 months ago this "very legal" russian family decided to put ocean cargo in bankrupt? just like this? hundreds of people without a job just because they had to "invest" money in another business?

and ps. russians are tired of paying crazy money for the same service that another company can offer them for half price...
be aware!
