Another bird dies
I hear tell a small freight company in DXB is no longer what it was, and maybe no more. This always had to hapen, gien the 1950's management style.

I know of some one who until very recently was working there. Have seen/heard these guys fly around in DXB airspace quiet often in the nights. Heard the shutting down owes to poor management policies . Am sorry for the guys who lost their jobs and also sorry if I flashed my lights on you guys at the other end of the holding point while lining up - I didnt realise there was an aircraft on the other side .

Very sad to hear that. Been there for 3 long years and every time I taxi past their aircraft or hear the callsign remember the good old times.
We had lots of fun, great bunch of guys, I hope all will find new jobs soon...
But heard as well its not over yet, there still might be some hope?

Not closing down...
From a very reliable source I have heard its just some major restructuring going on.
Far from closing down.
There is a market for them here and it just needs some optimizing and adjustment.

I thought they had the Fedex contract? Didn't realise they were doing DHL work too. I used to fly 1900's for DHL out of Bahrain 4-5 years ago, but that was for a different contract operator.
Sad to here that they are battling.
