Heard they have moved their start date from today (June 3) to June 15. they claim they have lost close to US$1.0m as a result of the downgrading of GCAA from FAA CAT 1 to CAT 2 though this should not have any effect on their ops, and also the withdrawal of "many passengers" who have lost faith in the charter companies in Accra from thier travel list , following the demise of (is it) Ghana Travel the operators of Flyjet from the UK who abandoned their passengers and got them stranded...

they need to realise that aviation is no kid's play. plenty talk and no action as is always(?) the case in Africa...

Engineer, you just hit the nail right between the eyes! forgive me for hoping the lessons have been learnt...
