JJ flyer, I take offence at the tone of your reply, check your history on the relationship between the UK and Cyprus, as nations, and read Wanderlusts post, it said
The UK CAA is the processing authority for this new airline
Now does that say they issued it???
And while we are on the subject,,
Please tell, what is wrong with the UK CAA, as far as I am aware they are one of the best in the world, you obviousy think not, justify your remark.
Wanderlust, I agree with you to a certain degree, but there is nothing wrong with flags of convience, the major problem is that they also tend to be used by people who consequently abuse the system badly...
Some countries are almost impossible to get an AOC in so you may be forced to use the method of flag of convenience so you can conduct your business..
