For what its' worth (and provided for information only and without comment and of course things may have changed...) - In the last month or so I have heard from 2 industry colleagues who have been contacted by Aden Murcott who still is looking for the funding for FlyBlu and also a suitable aircraft/deal and has not commenced the AOC application yet so is unlikely to meet the original Oct. start date
The pertinent questions are does have he have all the above sorted...or he/you are going nowhere fast...
