Nothing changes then, only the logo on the aircraft. But in all honesty, are you surprised?

so much for a new start

Well apart from money problems of which non payment of crew and ground staff is only one, there are redundancies in Amesbury, but oddly money seems to flow into 'special projects' .

Just heard that AV had money issues threatening to stop business, short term. Possibly bankruptcy?

Can someone confirm/infirm?

Unhappy money woes

Well I wonder if the crew will be paid,ops latest in the firing line and Gatwick now expanding (where's the money for that). Amesbury a shooting range (they are picking them off).Courtesy of the new ex-Avient bunch !

Unhappy Doom and Gloom

As the title suggests late payment of salaries (straight after administrators leave) methinks they maybe up to their old tricks! watch this space

Is there any more update on this?

I heard they have some of the MD-11 parked in exotic locations to avoid impounding in Europe?

An AV Cargo MD11F took off before us from Liege on Monday so there's at least one still flying.

One left Liege this afternoon, the other back in tomorrow morning. All running fine, but thank you for asking.

money money money

Sounds like money is being sorted out especially crew (unless anyone knows different),sad that some good people lost their jobs though.
I'd say watch this space as I'd be surprised if this particular leopard has changed its spots!
