Air Europe went bust for many reasons ( most still untiold) but the Gulf war didn't help. On the Lgw-Bah-Goa-Bah-Lgw series, I was told by a senior Bod in Commercial that the profit margin was one GBP per head. We simply re-routed through Karachi. Crew hoolies in the Karachi Hilton were not quite the same as the hoolies in the Bahrain Hilton and AE folded some months later. I wound up on the Dole & Income Support but still can;t bring myself to blame the Gulf War , entirely .
