In answer to the above...watch the press over the next few weeks as contracts have been entered into.

As for Newlines...lets get serious a business airline is about quality of service etc etc. Well how the hell can you provide that when you are operating 757-200 narrow body long haul business class it just does not work and only a fool would believe that it could. To provide and maintain quality you need highly motivated and trained staff, staff trained for that particular product not staff trained for leisure work, not staff that are not even employed by you. Using old aircraft on such a route for the business class traveller with constant technical problems is utter madness. They totally underestimate the competition. Ask them what happened to all their flight ops team where are they now, where is their sales and marketing team, what happened to that, for gods sake who in their airline has any airline experience, just look at the business plan. Not one person has ever worked with an airline. Piggy backing someone else’s AOC not very clever. There concept is ill-conceived, not supported by the City, not supported by Agents etc etc and I am led to believe has no management team left. They keep saying that they have slots and route licence..has anyone checked..oh please check at both ends youre in for a surprise. How can they operate out of the UK or EU when I am led to believe they are all COLUMBIANS!!!,
now lets get to the point of funding, where is it all coming from.....COLUMBIA????
