Is this really the lack of transparency that we want in air transport? Uncovering the ownership of the aircraft would probably give more answers as to what has gone on here. Maybe when we get into charges/financial claims, someone will start talking?
An awful lot of limited companies are set up by Chartered Accountants or Solicitors as 'off the shelf companies for clients to use. When that happens the initial director(s) are referred to as nominees and then, when the company is used for trading, they resign and the person(s) taking control of the company becomes director. To suggest that the formation 'director' being a nominee makes the actions of the company 'doubtful is misleading at best... whatever may have happened later, many many companies start out with a nominee director.
