ALLDAY,

Tradewinds isn't a startup, they have been around for a while, they just added an aircraft type with 922FT, 923FT, and 524UP (all pratts) that PO had given back.

FOCUS is a proposed ACMI startup with headquarters in FLL (i think), still working on certificate. 354MC is in AMS going through a heavy check and should be ready by the first week of Dec. 535MC is still in the States and will undergo a heavy check in AMS as soon as 354 is ready. Both airplanes are going to FOCUS.

FOCUS should be ready to go by the beginning of next year and will most probably compete directly with ATLAS using the latter's ex-airplanes at a cheaper rate........ expect to see more "MC" airplanes showing up over there... At the moment they are only interviewing for management positions.

Sorry that's all the info I have for now, hope this helps.
