An article in today's Flemish newspaper "De Morgen" states that Mr Freddy Van Gaver was considered by the Belgian Civil Aviation Authorities as "a cowboy".
It says that the Belgian Civil Aviation Authority is not prepared to grant him any licence for as long as he doesn't meet the authority's requirements (including a full business plan, which van Gaever claims no entrepreneur requires) and moreover that even if VG satisfies these demands the process would take much longer than 2-3 months.
The Belgian Aviation Authority also said that "Mr VG" was not an exception to the rules applied to everyone wishing to launch a new airline!"
