"Ireland seem to have more than their fair share of dodgy outfits and failed airlines. Are we sure the IAA are carrying out their duties as they should?"
Would you care to elaborate sir? Jet green were the only venture that actually got off the ground and then collapsed so quickly.
Jetmagic (another airline based in Cork) were a great airline, but like many other start ups, just couldnt cut the mustard in this tough environment due to hoped for high yield pax simply not materialising. None the less it was going for quite a bit longer than a week, so i'll not include this in the list at all, as there were obvious commercial reasons for it's closure.
Freshaer did not even get off the ground.. so where is the harm there?
One seemingly dodgy failed Airline is hardly end of the world when all around us there are major carriers on the brink of collapse. In Ireland we have a reasonably competitive airline industry where new airlines actually stand some chance against the national operator, who in our case at least, isnt a virtual monopoly that stamps out all competition. This year alone Air littoral and West Air France, and last year Air Lib, air lib express and Aeris all went bust. Perhaps you might like to question if the authorities in your country are doing their job correctly?
A bit more fact as opposed to fiction next time please.... oh, and lastly who are the dodgy operators exactly???
